We are getting very excited about the upcoming “Preparing for a Career in Medicine and Missions” Conference. As details fall into place, it is apparent what an exciting time this will be for students that come and for the providers they will be able to work with.
We have two wonderful clinic opportunities set up where students will be able to see doctors, dentists, nurse practitioners and other medical professionals at work to care for needs in our own backyard. Students will have the opportunity to work at Good Samaritan Clinic in downtown Atlanta or Good News Clinics in Gainesville, Georgia. Both are leading clinics for the underserved population and will provide exceptional experience in seeing day to day clinic function and the Gospel in action.
We also have some wonderful speakers lined up!
Drs. Ted and Sharon Kuhn will be joining us for the entire weekend and will be speaking and available to talk with students during free time and meals. They will also be working as providers during our clinic experience – so students will have the opportunity to work alongside them.
