You Spoke, We Listened!
Our MMI course has been updated! As requested, we have shortened the class from 10 days to under a week. We have added a robust pre-course that can be completed at your own pace 5-weeks before our on-campus course. We have preserved the content and made the in-class time more compact. Plan to work hard, be overwhelmed with practical information and make lifelong friends while learning new skills for the mission field.
What to Expect...
Are you preparing to leave for the mission field within the next six months or heading to a remote community without adequate medical care? The Missionary Medical Intensive Course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to assess, stabilize, and treat illness and injury in isolated areas. This comprehensive program includes a robust online pre-course starting five weeks before the in-person training, where you’ll dive into practical skills and essential medical information. Taught by experienced instructors, this affordable course not only provides high-quality instruction but also includes your lodging, meals, and a medical equipment kit upon arrival on campus. Build community with like-minded peers while gaining lifelong resources to support your work.
