This period aims to meet particular needs of two main
groups at the seminar; those unlikely to go far an ex-
tended stay (particularly physicians, dentists who are
well-settled in U.S. practices) and those likely to go
(most likely pre-meds, med students, interns, etc.)
A. If you’re not thinking of going for an extended stay:
points of discussion:
1. Short-term replacement.
2. Financial support.
3. Med student fellowship.
4. Put Christ into your practice.
B. If you’re interested in medical missions as your work
for Christ. This will be discussed in smaller groups
with a final reporting session.
