Description:

Mission Doctors Association stands in the unique role of being the only organization exclusively dedicated to recruiting, sending and supporting Catholic Doctors to serve at Catholic mission hospitals and clinics in response to requests from Bishops and Religious orders who run them.

Mission Doctors is a program for Catholic doctors and their families who feel called to serve as an expression of their faith. The Mission hospitals and clinics value this witness of faith and tell us frequently that this witness is as important as the professional services offered.

In addition to the original three-year, long-term service program, Mission Doctors offers a short term option for doctors and their families feeling called to serve one to three months. Most who do so, work alongside long-term Mission doctors or at facilities where MDA has a long-term relationship. Patients in Belize, Cameroon, Peru, Uganda, Tanzania and Ecuador need your skills, your compassion and your expertise.
