Finding Medical Practice Laws Pre-Mission TripRating: (votes: 0) If you are going with an organization wouldn't they be able to offer any helpful advice? Comment:
This is not legal advice, but in my opinion just stay within your scope of practice and you'll be fine. There is no way any patient is going to sue you. Just as an aside to the type of facilities you might see, I did a mission trip to Nicaragua and we had to hang fly paper in the OR. If a provider offers to let you do something out of scope, and you feel comfortable, you are acting under their direct supervision. I agree with the previous poster that just follow the guidelines of the agency.

I really need actual nurse practice law for Mexico, because a good guess may not be good enough. Scope of practice varies quite a bit just between states, which I saw between NE, LA, HI, and TX, much less a 2nd world country. This small operation does not have big organizational backing.

Thank you, that is probably the route to go. I am concerned about the cartels, but so far the people going haven't had problems.
