We long to see transformed healthcare practitioners transforming the world

Through our Student Ministry, we provide mentoring and encouragement to area medical and dental schools, including UT and LMU programs. This is one of our key areas of focus here at CMDA Knoxville Chapter, and a source of joy to our members to be able to help students in this time of their lives. They attend our monthly meetings and we often host student directed panels on the LMU Knoxville Campus. We support the Bible studies and student gatherings and celebrate graduating seniors.
