Your Call

Your Call

By Christian Medical & Dental Associations® | July 18, 2018

One of the goals of the Center for Medical Missions® is to increase the number of medical missionaries serving in the field. As we meet medical and dental students we are constantly amazed at the number who report having received a “call” to full time missionary service. It surprises us then, when we talk to mission executives to learn how few are actually applying to serve. Your Call has been created to encourage and keep those with a “call” focused on that “call.” It shares advice from Dr. David Stevens, information about working in creative access countries, stories from the field, etc. If you are one of those people with a “call” and would like to receive the quarterly e-newsletter, Your Call, please click on the links below. Also, be sure to read archived issues of Your Call.

The Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) is made up of the Christian Medical Association (CMA) and the Christian Dental Association (CDA). CMDA provides resources, networking opportunities, education and a public voice for Christian healthcare professionals and students.

Founded in 1931, CMDA provides programs and services supporting its mission to “change hearts in healthcare” with a current membership over 19,000. CMDA promotes positions and addresses policies on healthcare issues; conducts overseas medical evangelism projects; coordinates a network of Christian healthcare professionals for fellowship and professional growth; sponsors student ministries in medical and dental schools; distributes educational and inspirational resources; hosts marriage and family conferences; provides Third World missionary healthcare professionals with continuing education resources; and conducts academic exchange programs overseas. By being the “hands of Jesus” to needy people, CMDA seeks to fulfill His Great Commandment (Matthew 22:39; 25:36) and His Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).

The Christian Medical & Dental Associations® is a 501(c)3 and is governed by a Board of Trustees and House of Delegates. Policies of CMDA are interpreted and applied by the Board of Trustees, which also establishes the guidelines for the executive director and his staff. An elected House of Delegates assists the board with recommendations on courses of action. The House of Delegates is composed of graduate, student, resident and missionary members who are elected for three-year terms by district and meets annually at the CMDA National Convention.
