Legalities of nursing in the mission field?

[laurasc]

I live in Montreal and am registered with the OIIQ. I'm seriously considering going on a Medical Outreach with a US based Christian ministry next spring. It will consist of two weeks of working in a traveling clinic visiting underprivileged locals as well as a couple of refugee camps. It's been a dream of mine for a long, long time.

Does anyone know what the legalities would be for something like that in terms of my license? Is it something that the ministry has to deal with? Do you know if it makes a difference or complicates things if the ministry is from the US?

Thanks

Laura

Your license is only good in Quebec at this point. If you are going to another country it depends on what their requirements are. Most organisations that do medical missions are very well versed on what the requirements are, I suspect that some countries have such a great need that there would be no problem.
