If you’re planning to serve in medium to long-term healthcare missions and have a target departure date within the next five years, then this conference is for you! Join fellow outgoing healthcare missionaries and veteran missionary faculty for four incredible days of preparation for the field. Medical training and sending organizations do a fantastic job in most areas of equipping you for healthcare missions work, but preparing well to step into life as a healtcare missionary presents unique challenges and opportunities. This gathering will provide you with invaluable tools, knowledge, and relationships that will help you to thrive during your transition to life on the mission field!
