Our Mission
Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA) provides a faith-based community for students at the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. The organization’s mission is to educate, encourage, and equip Christian healthcare professionals to glorify God through their calling in medicine. CMDA believes that Christian healthcare professionals glorify God by following Christ in both their personal and professional lives, serving with excellence, integrity, and compassion, caring for all people regardless of background or belief, and advancing Biblical principles of healthcare within the Church and throughout the world. CMDA exists to support students spiritually, emotionally, and professionally as they navigate the journey of becoming physicians.
