Interested Physicians: Physicians letter.
We often receive inquiries as to the need for physicians at Hospital Misión Tarahumara in Mexico. Please allow me to explain our present situation. Our ministry can best be envisioned as having two parts. The first is the work within the hospital. We are presently in need of a primary care physician and a pediatrician. We are also in need of an ophthalmologist to help with our cataract surgery outreaches. There are many times of the year when we are short of anesthesia coverage and we could use the short term services of an anesthesiologist. Short term visits by an OB/Gyn would be useful, particularly if the physician was fluent in Spanish and able to educate our medical and nursing staff.
The second aspect of our work is "Community Health Evangelism" (CHE). In this we follow the model of Medical Ambassadors International - www.medicalambassadors.org. This program is a long-term approach to development and evangelism in the villages. We have a very real need for American physicians in this area of our work and we encourage any physician with an interest in community health care and evangelism to join us on a full or part-time basis. However, I do have a word of warning for those physicians considering a short term outreach. Many American doctors have a love of short term missions but may visit a different country every year. In my opinion, this amounts to little more than “Christian tourism”. A doctor who wants to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom needs to find one ministry in this world to help, both with his time and his finances. A physician might travel around for a while in search of that ministry, but he should adopt a “courtship” rather than a “dating” attitude; in other words, he should be looking for one place into which to pour his efforts.
Here at Mexico Medical Missions, we are prepared to assist you in your search. We understand that the Sierra Madre may not be the place that God has planned for you. We only ask that you come seeking that path that the Lord has prepared for you. I would sincerely enjoy answering any questions that you might have.
