Seminar Overview/Statement of Purpose:
Healthcare professionals in North America are today confronted with the problem of treating and preventing the ever-increasing incidence of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. They have been dealing with this challenge for quite some time.

The same is true for community healthcare practitioners in French Polynesia. However, they face additional constraints related to budgeting, resources, and delivery of healthcare services. They are going through an epidemiological shift in which infectious diseases are dropping, and non-communicable diseases are increasing, comparable to what is happening in the United States. It is becoming more and more of a global problem for healthcare practitioners to deal with the difficulties of providing quality patient care despite restricted finances and resources, which can affect the delivery of healthcare and access to it.

More than ever before, it is essential for those working in the medical field to engage in collaborative efforts with their professional peers and counterparts located in other regions to acquire global perspectives on illness prevention and treatment. This program offers chances for medical professionals to evaluate and contrast current best practices to provide great patient care and outcomes within their respective professional settings.

Educational Goals: Our goal is to provide unparalleled CME/CE travel opportunities for healthcare professionals that combine their most passionate destination desires with their educational goals, fostering exceptional learning experiences, friendships and connections with national and international colleagues.
• Assure that healthcare education programs provide best practice models reflecting current issues in medicine and healthcare for providing quality patient care
• Provide professional educational exchanges with international colleagues, healthcare educational organizations and clinics to gain cross-cultural perspectives and updates in the treatment and prevention of disease
• Allow medical/healthcare professionals to compare and contrast current best practices in medical/healthcare delivery to provide quality patient outcomes in their own professional setting.

Planned In Country Healthcare Topics Include:
• Healthcare Delivery in Isolated Communities with Limited Resources: Impact on Medical & Dental Care
• Medicine at Sea: Common Tropical Diseases, Marine Life Hazards & Travelers’ Illness
• Emerging Healthcare Issues: Changing Demographics & Chronic Disease Patterns
• Updates in Heart Failure, Type 2 Diabetes, Psychopharmacology
