Planning Your Medical Elective Evening
Join us for an evening of insight dedicated to helping you plan your medical elective. This event will feature hosts who will share their own elective experiences, provide valuable advice, and answer any questions you may have.

Whether you’re seeking guidance on choosing a location, navigating logistics, or maximising your learning experience, this is the perfect opportunity to gather practical tips and connect with others who have been through the process already.

Don’t miss out on this chance to prepare for your elective!

This is an invitation only event for those involved in, or interested in our Catalyst Teams and Speciality Networks. This year’s pre‑conference focuses on themes flowing from the new CMF Strategic Plan, including welcoming and involving International Graduates, partnering well with churches and flourishing within our teams and networks. These sessions are designed to equip and encourage you as you serve within Catalyst Teams or Specialty Networks, and to help us grow together in our shared vision of Healthcare professionals reflecting God’s heart for humanity.

Join CMF’s 18‑month Global Track, running from September 2026 to March 2028!

The track is designed for medics, nurses, midwives and allied health professionals who are exploring or preparing for work in global health and mission.

We especially welcome students in the final three years of their course, as well as graduates in the early stages of their careers, as the programme is structured to fit comfortably alongside ongoing studies, placements or work commitments.

This will be our sixth cohort, building on years of experience delivering the programme.

• Residential & In‑Person Training: An introductory weekend residential with teaching, five Saturday training days at CMF HQ led by global health mission speakers, and a cross‑cultural training day in the UK.
• Online Learning: Four two‑hour Wednesday evening webinars, and two assignments to help you reflect and apply your learning.
• CMF Global Summer Mission Conference: Your place includes conference access with lectures, practical skills sessions, and workshops on healthcare in resource‑poor settings.
• Mentoring: You’ll be paired with a mentor experienced in overseas missions for personalised support throughout the programme.
• Vision Trip: Join one of three short‑term mission vision trips. If you can’t make these dates, we can consider your elective or another short-term mission trip instead.

£500

Please note that this fee doesn’t include your travel, accommodation or extra days at the Global Summer Mission Conference, or the costs connected with your vision trip.
We can provide a support letter if you’d like to invite prayer or financial support from your church, family, or friends.

Come and join us for 4 nights in Criccieth, where the mountains meet the sea, to consider the needs in the world today, learn more about what the Bible teaches about mission and see what God is doing.

We’ll think about what it means to make disciples and how to demonstrate God’s love in practical action. There will be the opportunity to work through practical questions, learn from each other and think through how we could be involved now and in the future. There will be time for Bible study, prayer, praise, learning in groups, wild swimming, walks and personal reflection.

Who is it for?
Christian students and health care professionals and their spouses/partners wanting to learn more about mission and considering how they may get involved in the future.
