Current Mission Opportunities with Medical Education International
During the last academic year, MEI teams taught in Central Asia, Ecuador, Egypt, Jamaica, Kenya, Kosovo, Mongolia, and Sudan. Our teams consist of two to 10 fully-trained healthcare professionals, although some teams may accept residents. Teams teach subjects requested by their hosts. This may include medicine, dentistry, nursing, medical ethics and faculty development.

Serbia Student Ministry
Niš, Serbia, 2025
David, Student Participant
I wanted to sincerely thank you once again for the time, effort, and enthusiasm you invested in teaching us. Your session was incredibly enlightening, and you made learning suturing and otoscopy both engaging and genuinely enjoyable. I really appreciate how approachable you were during this seminar. Our team had a wonderful time in four different cities lecturing, performing workshops, and sharing the Gospel. One team member stated he had never shared the Gospel so frequently.
When God Opens the Door I Need to Walk In
Nigeria, 2020
Robert Hoffman
"Dr. Hoffman, do you go on mission trips?" This was the question that began this ministry for MEI. When I said "Yes." She said "Do you want to go to Nigeria? " I said "tell me more" and away we went. My investigation led me to the conclusion that this would be an excellent opportunity for MEI and ... I went to check it out.
The hospital is a non-profit hospital built by a local Christian businessman to help his community. The hospital is small but its goal is to give first class care to the women and children of Eastern Nigeria and to teach the local physicians and community how to improve the care they give. While there I met committed physicians who are dedicated to taking care of the patients and struggle with how to deal with the limited resources to pay for care. I also gave a talk to a approximately a 100 6th-12th graders about diabetes and how it happens and how to help class mates with the disease. They were attentive and several who were interested in medical careers came for a tour of the hospital. Nigeria was not on my radar as a place to go but when God opens the door I need to walk in. This is a great opportunity for pediatricians and obstetricians to share the medical knowledge God has given us.
Where We Go | Teach | Serve
Medical Education International
Medical Education International (MEI) equips Christian healthcare professionals to take their knowledge, skills, and faith around the world. Through short-term teams, MEI partners with medical schools, hospitals, governments, and healthcare professionals—primarily in low- and middle-income countries—to provide requested clinical training, academic education, faculty development, and professional mentorship.
But MEI is about more than teaching medicine. By building genuine relationships with local colleagues and modeling the compassion, excellence, and love of Jesus, MEI seeks to strengthen healthcare systems while encouraging Christian healthcare professionals and communities around the world.
MEI’s mission is simple: Teaching to Transform. Through education, relationship, and Christ-centered care, MEI helps equip healthcare professionals to improve the health of their communities and ultimately transform lives. MEI has served in more than 30 countries, bringing together physicians, dentists, nurses, therapists, researchers, and other healthcare professionals who believe their professional skills can be used as an expression of their faith and calling.
