The healthcare missionary team is more diverse than ever with national, ethnic, cultural, generational and educational differences becoming the norm in many, if not most healthcare mission settings. The success of national training programs has led to highly trained graduates who stay on with the team to serve and eventually participate in leadership. The priorities, needs, motivations, work habits, etc. of different team members will vary between cultures, generations, and nationalities. How do we face the future of healthcare missions and not just sustain these teams but leverage them for even greater effectiveness in fulfilling the Great Commission?

As the number of refugees surges in the U.S. and around the globe, displaced persons and migrants are increasingly becoming victims of human trafficking. Healthcare professionals serving in either domestic, short or long-term missions can be instrumental in identifying victims and providing culturally relevant care to the exploited in vulnerable populations.

Most Christian healthcare professionals and students recognize the value of whole person care in stateside and international settings. Yet such care might be one of the most complex challenges in healthcare today. How is done? When is it done? Is it ethical or legal? Can I pray with a patient? Share the gospel? And if so, how is all this done with limited time? We'll unravel these issues and more.

STUDENTS & RESIDENTS: How can we deepen in our love for Jesus and see this refining, exciting time as He does? We’ll spend the first half tackling topics like long-haul stamina, time management, living in community, debt, and God’s heart for those experiencing poverty.



For the second hour, we’ll divide into small groups of the same discipline (i.e., DO/MD students, residents, pre-med, PA, NP, pharmacy, dental, spouses). With facilitators who have gone through it before, we’ll dive into the questions you have and brainstorm how God might sustain you now and lead you up ahead.
