• MAP International Medical Fellowships are for students who hear a different drummer – who are considering a career in international health in the context of Christian medical missions. Since 1971, over 1,800 third and fourth year medical students, interns and residents have received travel assistance fellowships from MAP for externships in mission hospitals in developing countries. The benefits for the externs have been many and varied. The students’ reports are enthusiastic as they recount busy days in the wards and surgical theaters, as well as medical safaris into the bush or to far-off villages where people lack access to basic medical care. The hardships and frustrations, as well as the joys of medical missions are brought home to them in an eight week (or six week for interns/residents) period of service in the developing world. Further information as well as an online application is available from their website www.map.org. Contact MAP International for an original application and additional information at 404-880-0540 or email mstevenson@map.org
