Coauthored by CFHI Executive Director Dr. Jessica Evert, this paper in the Annals of Global Health considers the legal framework within which short-term experiences in global health (STEGHs) operate.

Two activities of particular concern are: practicing medicine without a license and drug importation and distribution.
