ICMDA

Vision: to be a global movement bringing together national Christian medical and dental organisations in fellowship, witness and service. Mission: to encourage and equip Christian medical and dental students and graduates to grow to Christian maturity and live out their faith within their clinical practice and beyond.

Work a Day for ICMDA

The 3rd annual 'Work a Day' on 15 October encouraged participants to support ICMDA work in the regions through prayer and giving: www.icmdaeurasia.net/work-a-day. The autumn Eurasia News is available on request – contact James Tomlinson.

XIV ICMDA World Congress

In July, 700 participants from 60 nations gathered for the World Congress in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The theme Priorities in professional practice: for whom are you working? was explored in Bible readings, plenary sessions and seminars. Graciously hosted by the movements in Uruguay and Argentina, the congress had a vibrant South American flavour. Generous support of the bursary fund enabled attendance from around the world, including countries in South and Central America. The next World Congress will be in the Netherlands in July 2014.

I was particularly touched by the thought that study to become excellent in medicine is done as worship for Jesus Christ. (Junior doctor, Finland) The theme for the pre-conference was a reminder of why I chose to study medicine in the first place. I had to ask myself once again: for whom are you studying? (Student, Romania)

New Team

During the Congress Dr Vinod Shah was confirmed as the incoming Chief Executive, taking over from Dr Daryl Hackland in February 2011. The international office will move to Vellore, India. CMF's Kevin Vaughan was appointed Chair of the ICMDA Board and has now passed his role as chair of the Eurasia regional committee to Dr Hans-Rudi Pfeifer (Switzerland).
