Medical
Committee

The Medical Committee is the governance body appointed by the Childspring Board of Directors to oversee all medical programs offered by Childspring.

Our Medical Committee is critical to our organization’s success. Medical committee members review surgical cases, assess current and new international partnerships and programs, and guide the Programs Department in strategic thinking as we build, expand, and sustain our medical programs.
