In both domestic and international situations, dental needs often go unmet (for multiple reasons). Untreated dental conditions, if neglected long enough, can turn into dental emergencies. These emergency dental patients are often misdiagnosed and/or go untreated in a medical setting. This lecture will serve to enlighten/empower non-dentists with some basic diagnostic and treatment skills to manage dental emergencies in a non-dental setting.

The practice of medicine is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

Nurses and other healthcare team members must provide evidence-based care for the broken, hurting, suffering, and vulnerable. Believers can do that in a God-honoring, loving, caring, and compassionate way. Nurses can be the hands and feet of Jesus while holistically providing shalom and meeting people's physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychosocial needs amid uncertainty. Learn practical ways to show everyone holistic respect, caring, and compassion.

Surviving motherhood is a genuine concern. Maternal and newborn deaths are the 6th and 7th leading causes of life years lost in the world’s poorest nations. Sepsis, post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), eclampsia-preeclampsia, and failure to progress are the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Major interventions are to reduce family size and to provide quality obstetric care at delivery, including care for PPH and basic newborn resuscitation.
