Description:

Common ailments often go undetected in many developing countries and quickly become a matter of life or death. People who suffer major health issues such as heart defects or AIDS face the real threat of never receiving life-giving treatment. Samaritan’s Purse provides doctors, nurses, medical equipment, and other aid through World Medical Mission, our medical arm, while administering hope through the healing power of the Great Physician.

World Medical Mission places Christian physicians, dentists, and other medical professionals in short-term service at mission hospitals and clinics in Africa, Asia, Oceania, Latin America, and the Middle East. We coordinate all the details of the assignment, including:

• Matching interests, abilities, and time frame with a hospital
• Providing orientation and spiritual resources before and during the assignment
• Arranging international travel schedules and airline ticketing
• Assisting with necessary visas, permits, and other field requirements
• Coordinating field housing and transportation
• Assisting volunteers in handling financial details related to overseas service

These and other crucial details of the short-term experience are all handled with care by our staff. We ensure that (as much as possible) those who serve through us are freed up to make the greatest contribution possible during their limited time overseas.

If you are a physician, dentist, or other medical professional and would like to request an application for overseas service with World Medical Mission, please use the form to let us know of your interest.
