I Admire INMED's Efforts To Serve Unreached Groups of People

"I am delighted to write a letter in support of the great work that INMED is doing. Here at AIC Kijabe Hospital, Kenya, we have enjoyed the contributions of many INMED students. Equipping healthcare professionals to serve the forgotten is a great mission, and I admire INMED's efforts serve unreached groups of people in our 'global village.' A venture out of one's comfort zone can be shocking, and we greatly appreciate the way INMED prepares their students and assists those stepping out, not just 'medically' but 'personally' too! May God continue to richly bless your work, as we look forward to our ongoing partnership."

Revolutionizing The Priorities of Young Healthcare Professionals

"CURE International is privileged to partner with INMED to provide meaningful training, service opportunities, and life changing experiences for top quality healthcare students who are interested in international medical service. INMED's commitment to excellence speaks for itself and has enabled an ongoing synergistic relationship between CURE International, the students who participate in this program, and the extraordinarily needy people whom we serve. The inspiration created by our partnership will multiply immeasurably for years into the future, and result in careers dedicated to the poor, and in children walking and playing who would never have before."

Thanks To INMED For Their Vision And Expertise

"Since 2004 we have enjoyed having students and resident physicians from INMED come and work with us at Baptist Medical Center. We have never been disappointed in the performance or attitudes of those who have come our way. It is encouraging to see the quality of these young people and their interest in international medicine. Thanks to INMED for their vision and expertise - for helping to prepare future generations of international medical volunteers. BMC and INMED will continue to work together to provide opportunities for medical and cultural growth in young medical personnel."

I Cannot Recommend INMED Too Highly

"As the only doctor for a remote mission hospital, I am painfully aware of the many challenges faced by healthcare professionals as they first encounter this stressful working environment. Without sufficient preparation dedicated individuals often become so frustrated that they will never get past the obstacles, and may leave in despair. I feel that INMED is filling a critical need as it seeks to prepare healthcare professionals for all these daunting challenges. INMED's programs not only address these issues effectively, but also offer the flexibility of online courses and short-term courses that fit into one's demanding schedule. I cannot recommend INMED too highly."

A Job Well Done

"I enjoy getting to know INMED students, both in the context of the INMED International Medicine Intensive Course, in which I participated, and on the field here in Tanzania. My compliments go to INMED and to your staff for a job well done. You are inspiring and connecting people intent on serving one another. What could possibly be a higher calling? I continue to refer my medical missions colleagues to your website and training resources. I sincerely hope they will continue to take advantage of all that INMED offers."

Commitment To Teaching Global Health And Cross-Cultural Ministry

"The Institute for International Medicine has demonstrated excellence as an organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the development of medical missions around the world. I have been impressed with INMED's commitment to teaching global health and cross-cultural ministry, reflected in the quality of conferences sponsored and the medical students, physicians and healthcare professionals who they send to all corners of the world. By combining learning with service, participants gain not only tools to effectively address the health challenges of resource-poor settings but a unique perspective of communities living in poverty. I would highly recommend INMED for anyone interested in exploring such opportunities."

INMED Expanding The Horizons Of Medical Trainees

"I am excited about INMED's role in expanding the horizons of medical trainees in the US by making them more aware of the multitude of needs around the world. Many lives are touched by mission health-care facilities in developing countries, and INMED's goal of giving interested students and residents an opportunity to both see and serve in these facilities is a much needed and noble one, a goal which I pray will change the course of many lives."
