Formation Program
Preparing the long-term Mission Doctors for three years of international service is among a unique set of objectives that sets MDA apart.
Classes in scripture, theology, Catholic social teaching are combined with adult formation and cultural preparation.
Living together in community for four months, those preparing to serve in different locations around the world attend daily Mass, pray morning and evening prayers, share meals and work together in preparation for long term mission service.
We are told by the Bishops and the Religious Sisters who run the hospitals, that they see the difference this formation makes in those who come to serve.
Mission Doctors have also shared that this time was both a gift and a challenge providing the resources that have made their time in service fruitful.
The diverse faculty are experts in their field, coming from universities and organizations providing spiritual, interpersonal, emotional, and individual instruction.
The direct expense for the four-month residential formation program averages $10,000 per candidate.
