International child health work can take many forms, and there are an endless number of agencies involved. This workshop is meant to be an introduction to acquaint the pediatrician with what the options are and how to prepare for an experience in a third world country. Several pediatricians will discuss their experience in teaching and in international pediatric health care provision in developing countries. The presentations will include (1) what it takes to be prepared to go to international emergency situations, (2) what is needed to prepare for a longer-term experience in teaching or providing health care in a developing country, (3) what preparation is needed for a two week or one month "vacation" work experience in a developing country, and 4) what some of the agencies are that provide the options.
Sponsored by the American Pediatric Society.
