Policies for International Service 
An AdventHealth entity or affiliated entity student, resident, employee, volunteer or non-AdventHealth volunteer, understand and agree to adhere to the following rules: 

1. My scope of work while working internationally cannot exceed what I am licensed and/or authorized to do in the United States of America.
2. If I am a student or resident, I must be properly supervised by a licensed professional and I agree to be certain supervisors are available prior to performing any procedures.

Waiver of Responsibility and Assumption of Risk 
I hereby acknowledge the inherent risk of international travel and the fact that injury, death, disease, might occur during or as a result of my voluntary service on a trip sponsored by AdventHealth or any affiliated entity, and fully understand that the risks associated with such service may include, but are not limited to, injury or death by accident, disease, terrorist acts, adverse weather conditions and inadequate medical care, and/or damage to, or loss of, personal property. I, in consideration of the benefits derived from being accepted for service, hereby volunteer my services despite such hazards. I willingly assume these risks and I hereby waive any and all claims against the participating local and international organizations as well as the sponsoring institutions, their officers and employees, and the leaders of AdventHealth, for any and all causes in connection with the activities of the above organizations and individuals on the trip for which this application is being completed.

I understand and agree that any travel not directly related to such approved trip shall be considered personal in nature. AdventHealth shall not be responsible for any transportation, lodging, meal, or other miscellaneous expense related to personal travel combined with an AdventHealth sponsored trip. I agree to release and hold AdventHealth harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever arising out of personal travel or activities.

I further understand that AdventHealth or an affiliated entity may make transportation, room, board, and other such arrangements necessary for my participation in an approved trip. In the absence their own negligence, AdventHealth or any affiliated entity will not be held responsible for any cancellations, delays, diversions, and any act or omission whatsoever (including the results thereof) by air carriers, hotels, transportation companies or any persons or entities providing any services or accommodations on the trip. AdventHealth will not be liable for any loss or damage to baggage or property, or for any injury, illness, or death, or for any damages or claims whatsoever arising out of my participation in the trip, unless caused by intentional or negligent acts or omissions by AdventHealth or an affiliated entity.

I agree to reimburse AdventHealth or an affiliated entity should they be held responsible for travel, room, board, and/or other such expenses I incur while participating in an approved trip in excess of the amount I have prepaid for such expenses. I will make arrangements for such reimbursement within (2) weeks of the termination of my participation in the approved trip. 
I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless AdventHealth or any affiliated entity for any and all liability, loss, or other damage claims or obligations caused by or arising out of my participation, including but not limited to, any negligent acts or omissions while participating in the trip. 

Immunizations
It is the responsibility of all AdventHealth entity or affiliated entity students, residents, employees, volunteers or non-AdventHealth volunteers to obtain the appropriate immunizations before travel. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website – http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/ travel provides the most up-to-date information regarding travelers’ health and information regarding recommended/required immunizations for travel to all countries. Travelers are urged to visit their primary care physician or a health care provider who specializes in travel medicine to receive consultation on immunization and medication recommendations for their host countries.

Depending on the destination country, additional testing, specific forms of masking, and other requirements may apply. 
Note: Many countries in Central/South America and Africa require that one presents proof of yellow fever vaccination upon entry into the country. Please carefully read the CDC’s traveler’s health information for the destination country to determine whether this vaccination is required. 

I understand and agree that it is my responsibility to ensure that I am properly vaccinated before travel on a AdventHealth sponsored trip.

Expectations for Exemplary Conduct
Congruent with the regulations and standards outlined in the AdventHealth Team Member Handbook and the AdventHealth University Student Handbook, all participants on AdventHealth sponsored trips are required to adhere to those and the following standards of conduct:

1. AdventHealth was founded by and is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church. In accordance with our missional foundation, trip participants are expected to respect the SDA heritage and legacy of whole-person care, and how AdventHealth expresses them in mission trips domestic and abroad.
2. The consumption of alcohol, use of tobacco or illegal drugs is prohibited.
3. Sexual misconduct or harassment will not be tolerated. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. If you are witness to or a victim of sexual harassment, please report the incident to your trip leader or Global Missions contact immediately.
4. Engaging in any political or unlawful activity under the laws of the host country is prohibited.

I understand and agree that if I do not abide by said standards, or if my behavior and/or conduct is unreasonable, uncooperative, or disruptive in any way, that I may be required by AdventHealth and/or by host site authorities to leave the project site and return to the United States early at my own expense.

Photo Release 
I understand that AdventHealth may publish photos and testimonies of participants on this mission, including myself.
