The NRFC is an important part of CMDA's Campus & Community Ministries. It serves as a springboard for development of future national leaders of CMDA and will offer potential participation of its members in other national CMDA roles, such as Resident Trustee to the Board of Trustees, Resident Representative to the House of Representatives or membership of various councils or committees.

While there is no time requirement to be involved in the NRFC, it is the goal of the NRFC to have regularly scheduled online meetings and interactive programs so that residents and fellows have the opportunity to grow in their understanding of what it means to be a Christ-follower in healthcare.

You are welcome to join prayer and devotional times over Zoom led by residents or guest speakers; more information is available through our WhatsApp group which provides a place for residents and fellows across the nation to meet, connect, network and encourage one another.

Complete the “Join the NRFC” form below and information about the above will be emailed to you.

NRFC meetings take place monthly via Zoom on Monday evenings at 8 pm Eastern. They include prayer, fellowship, a graduate professional sharing an encouraging devotional, learning about various CMDA ministries or watching and discussing the Faith Rx videos.

The National Resident & Fellow Community is led by motivated residents and fellows who feel called to care for other residents and fellows and are inspired to steer CMDA resident/fellow ministry into the future. The Leadership Team is the decision-making body of the NRFC and is composed of CMDA Resident Representatives and the CMDA Resident Trustee along with other interested residents and fellows who are CMDA members.

While their overall role is to establish and implement the vision for the NRFC, their specific tasks vary from year to year. These tasks may include developing and leading online meetings, reaching out to fellow residents/fellows and graduating fourth year students, helping write the NRFC newsletter, as well as planning resident and fellow events at CMDA’s annual National Convention.  

The Leadership Team is not meant to be exclusive, but to define who will assume the responsibility for leading this national organization. To apply for a leadership position, click on the Leadership Applications at the bottom of this page.
