Make sure you select a book related to international health care or caring for individuals from other cultures.
Recommendation: Select a book that is not too long and, certainly, not too short.
When completing this assignment, you must provide references, from peer-reviewed articles from Killam Library databases to discuss interventions and action in global health development, in the current APA format.

Include this information on the bottom left-hand side of the title page.
