Testimonials
“I hope to become even bolder for Christ and grow deeper in my relationship with God with other believers in my school through fellowship, Bible study, and meetings. Also, I want to learn how physicians have incorporated their faith practice.”
“One of my mentors once said, ‘People will learn more about the grace of God watching you handle suffering and adversity than success and prosperity.’ Think about that in light of the pandemic.”
“CMDA has provided an incredible community within the medical school. These weekly Bible studies and monthly meetings and events with Christian doctors have guided my spiritual journey, especially for the intersection of medicine and Christianity.”
“I am very blessed to be supported by amazing mentors who want to promote community and point each other to Christ. With these mentors in my life, I can’t wait to see how the rest of this year goes.”
