Frequently Asked Questions
Are annual dues tax deductible?
Annual dues for CMDA are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed
by law.
I'm a nurse. Am I eligible for membership?
Yes, all Christian healthcare professionals are welcome to join CMDA,
including physicians, dentists, physician assistants, nurses, physical
therapists, PhD's in academic programs, etc.
Allied Health Professionals join CMDA as Associate Members. Associate
Members receive all of the benefits of other members, with the exception
of the right to vote or hold office.
Do I have to be a member in order to go to a CMDA
conference?
You are not required to be a member in order to go to a conference.
However, members receive a significant discount on the registration fees
of most CMDA conferences, as well as many other exclusive benefits.
If I join in the middle of the year, will my dues pay for one
full year, or just to the end of December?
Yes, your dues will pay for one full calendar year. For example, if
you join in June 2006, you will be invoiced again in June 2007.
Do I have to be a member to participate in short-term mission
opportunities?
There are opportunities for a diverse mix of people to participate on
our short-term mission trips; for example, logistic assistants,
translators, worship leaders, etc. play an important role in the success
of the missions program. Therefore membership is not required for
participants on short-term mission trips, as some of the much-needed
participants are not eligible for membership. Please see the Missions
section of the website to learn how to become a part of this ministry of
changing lives around the globe!
My spouse is also a doctor. Is there a discount for spouse
members?
Yes. Because of the value CMDA places on medical and dental
marriages, we are grateful to be able to offer free membership to one
spouse when the other pays full dues. One set of publications will be
sent for both spouses in the name of the paying member.
