Medical Missions

Experience Medical Missions

As a LUCOM student, you’re invited to be part of a vision – developed in partnership with Liberty University’s LU Send – that encourages you to serve others and share the Gospel through medical missions.

LUCOM offers faculty-led mission trips where you’ll serve with established mission clinics and support outreach efforts in local communities.

During these trips, you may also connect with local mission organizations and hospitals, creating opportunities for one-month fourth-year rotations in mission hospital settings.

And, if you want to pursue missional living and medical practice more intentionally in the United States or internationally, we offer a medical mission certificate program.

You can also learn through conferences and speakers focused on medical missions.

What Our Students Say

I came out of that trip being even more passionate about medical missions and wanting to pursue it to be a larger part of my life and career.

One of my biggest takeaways was seeing God’s work in a totally (different) part of the world. I feel very privileged and honored to have the opportunity to pursue medicine, and that God gave me this opportunity.

This was truly interactive, like we were part of the medical team, and that was really cool to experience. It was refreshing to talk with people with medical issues and be a part of clinical medicine.

Medical Missions Certificate (Non-Credit)

Liberty’s Global Health certificate program is for students interested in growing in their missional living and preparing to serve God and others through the missional practice of medicine. Upon successful completion of this non-credit program, students are awarded a digital badge. An application for the certificate will be provided in individual classes. There are three components to this certificate program:

Preclinical Summer Elective

Online Courses

LUCOM-approved clinical experiences

Additional International Clinical Experiences

Students may pursue LUCOM approval to receive credit for clinical rotation electives at other international sites. All clinical rotation electives must receive LUCOM Clinical Education approval and involve administrative processes, including affiliation agreements and preceptor credentialing.

All non-LUCOM-sponsored clinical rotations/experiences fulfilling the medical mission certificate requirements must be approved by LUCOM global medicine leadership.

Domestic Opportunities

Local community health outreach activities in the Lynchburg area are available to students. Many of these opportunities are organized through LUCOM student interest groups.
LUCOM has partnered with Beacon Christian Community Health Center, located in Staten Island, NY, for clinical rotation opportunities for interested students.

Health Care Mission Conference

Liberty University collaborates with the Christian Medical and Dental Associations (CMDA) to sponsor an annual health care mission conference, Remedy East.
