Practicing Catholic Medicine 6. Medical Missions, with Megan Mueller, RN, BSN, and former director of FOCUS Medical Missions
In this episode, Megan and I dive deep into the world of medical missions and her experience as a participant and as a leader for numerous medical missions around the world.
We chat about:
- How to find a good organization for medical missions (hint: finding one that has the resources for follow up care for those you serve)
- Concerns raised by others, such as “Do medical missions even matter?”, and “People going on medical missions are just looking to feel good about themselves and get pictures with cute kids.”
- How medical missions help you become a better provider where you currently serve, and how our call to serve in America is no different than serving on a mission abroad.
We reference:
- He Leadeth Me, by Fr. Walter J. Ciszek
- International Missionary Foundation
Enjoy!
