Qualifications for African Applicants

 

How can a physician qualify for the training program?

 

1) A candidate must be a citizen of an African country, a graduate of a recognized medical school and must have completed an internship.

 

2) They must be a sincere follower of Jesus Christ as evidenced by their words, actions and lifestyle.

 

3) The candidate must receive strong, written recommendations from the leaders of their local church and from a Christian doctor who knows them well and has worked with them.

 

4) Since the Training Centers provide furnished housing for the resident and their family, free health care and learning materials, each candidate must be sponsored by a church, mission or organization that is capable of providing financial support for each year of training.  Each year of residency will obligate the sponsored resident to a year of service in a suitable mission hospital.
