    Citation Excerpt :

    When HCW staffing cannot be met through domestic personnel during a disaster, supplementing staffing with FMTs may be needed. Ideally, FMTs should be used only if they have been prequalified and preregistered in advance and are coordinated through an appropriate international body (eg, United Nations, World Health Organization, and so forth) that sets minimum professional and ethical standards for inclusion in an official FMT registry.73–76 Receiving nations should have plans in place to formally and rapidly invite and accept (eg, through recognizing these vetted foreign responders' licensing and credentialing and deeming them federal agents during the response), integrate into domestic operations, legally protect, and demobilize such teams.77
