Welcome to
REMEDY We are so glad you made the decision to join us at First Baptist Orlando this weekend. REMEDY is designed to help you to discover avenues of service in God’s kingdom, as well as be inspired by experienced and passionate servants of Christ who have made missional living the central theme of their careers. We believe you will learn about practical ways to use your training, passion and gifting as you serve in healthcare missions in the future. At Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), our mission is to motivate, educate and equip Christian healthcare professionals to glorify God. We believe healthcare missionaries are amazingly effective and powerful ambassadors of Christ who can accomplish just that. We have invited speakers and exhibitors who are excellent role models and communicators in their areas of global healthcare missions. We want to thank the leadership and staff of First Baptist Orlando for the welcome and hospitality they have extended to all of us involved in Remedy. They have been enthusiastic, supportive and generous in opening their beautiful facility AND offering the help of many volunteers to make this weekend a success for attendees, exhibitors and presenters. I also want to give a shout out to Dr. Stan and Joanne Hand, long-time members of First Baptist, who experienced some real trials in the last year. There would be no Remedy at First Baptist if it wasn’t for Stan and Joanne kindly introducing CMDA’s CEO Dr. David Stevens to the church leadership. Dr. Stan suffered a severe brain bleed in November, and through God’s gracious healing touch, he has recovered and is able to participate in housing Remedy attendees as well as being hosts for the conference. Praise the Lord for His healing in your life, Dr. Stan! One of the themes that should be evident this year, especially in the final plenary session, is that personal risk is sometimes required to be fully obedient to God’s call into missions. During this conference, our prayer is you will hear the voice of God’s Spirit and be willing to be sent to “...preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:2, NIV 1984) with courage and confidence. What an incredible privilege we have in healthcare with the capacity to heal, teach and bring spiritual transformation all in one encounter, just as our Lord Jesus did. No matter where you are in your journey with Christ or in healthcare, we pray God will use what you discover and experience here at REMEDY: HEALING FOR THE NATIONS to help you prepare for future ministry in healthcare missions to HIS ULTIMATE GLORY. Fanning the flame until He comes to get us,
Mike Chupp, MD CMDA Executive Vice President

e’ve gathered here this weekend because we each share a deep passion to save the world for Christ.
Through medical missions, God is bringing His REMEDY for disease to the world. And because of the skills He gives us, God is using each one of us to bring His REMEDY to a world that is riddled with disease and sin. This conference will tell you what it takes to serve Christ on the mission field—whether that’s at home in your local community, in a third-world country for a long-term career or somewhere in between. So get ready for REMEDY, and be prepared for God to open your heart to His calling and His passion for your life.

Trusting God with Our Safety and Security “Dave� Faith Hall 356
Session Information In this session, learn how personal security issues should be weighed by a servant of Christ as they consider a call to serve as a medical missionary.
2
Playing God and Other Ethical Issues in Missionary Medicine David Stevens, MD, MA (Ethics) Faith Hall 349
1 Hour CE
Session Information There is little in the medical literature about applying the basic tenets of medical ethics in resource-limited situations common in mission hospitals. For example, healthcare professionals are taught not to attempt medical or surgical interventions they have not been trained to do. That prohibition will be quickly violated when you are the only option for the patient. With real-life stories and practical suggestions, this talk prepares future missionaries to practice well and ethically overseas. Objectives 1. Critique the ethical principles of beneficence, non-malfeasance, autonomy and justice in your practices in healthcare-deficit areas of the developing world.

Try Not to Fry: Preventing Burnout in Medical Missions Stan Haegert, MD, MPH Faith Hall 346
1 Hour CE
Session Information Heading to a tropical setting to serve with a medical mission? Don’t forget your sunscreen! Besides increased exposure to the sun’s rays, you’ll also be exposed to “rays” that can increase your risk for compassion fatigue, exhaustion and burnout. In this breakout session, we will look at these exposures and try to equip you with some “protection factors” that will help you avoid “getting burned” as you serve. Objectives 1. Describe the special “exposures” experienced by medical missionaries that can lead to burnout. 2. Discuss strategies to manage exposures experienced by medical missionaries and respond to them in health-enhancing ways.
4
Partnering Well Across Cultures Mary Lederleitner, PhD Faith Hall 350
Session Information Most people look forward to partnering and collaborating with people in other countries—until things start going wrong. High hopes turn to disappointment and broken trust. When money is involved, misunderstandings can become heated and relationships can be easily harmed. Are there ways to avoid such outcomes? This session will help you to partner more fruitfully in God’s mission around the globe. Objectives 1. Help participants grow in their awareness regarding what leads to effective and fruitful cross-cultural partnerships. 2. Help participants grow in their understanding of how to work through conflicts with cross-cultural partners.

Hands-on Suturing Michael Cheatham, MD Faith Hall 372
Session Information During this session, you will learn basic suturing and knot tying. Practice your skills under the direction of experienced physicians. Objectives 1. Learn basic knot tying techniques. 2. Learn basic suturing skills.
6
Short-term Mission Trips: Blessings in Disguise William Griffin, DDS Faith Hall 353
Session Information Why do healthcare professionals give away their time and skills, traveling long distances to foreign cultures at their own expense, to help treat the needy? Anyone who has gone on a short-term mission trip could supply multiple reasons, many of which can have a profound effect on our attitudes toward life when we get back home. This session will consider some of the more and less obvious benefits of short-term dental mission trips, with a special emphasis on the unique perspective of student involvement. Objectives 1. Grow in appreciation for how the Lord increases our faith through short-term mission trips. 2. Become more aware of how students can be blessed on mission trips. 3. Recognize how mission trips can open the door to sharing the Good News when we return.

Missions and Marriage David Kim, MD, and Jenny Kim, MD Faith Hall 356
Session Information David and Jenny, together with their three girls (ages 10, 8, 6), have had the privilege of serving as medical missionaries in Nepal for the last five years. They experienced a number of circumstances in their 15-year marriage, both on and off the field, that have grown them individually and as a couple. Join them for this informal session that recounts some of those situations: • How calling looked for them individually, then together. • Conflicts outside marriage (particularly managing family pressures, a team crisis and a natural disaster). • Conflicts within marriage (particularly how to balance a dual physician workload and home life). • Raising children on the field (particularly the difficulties of managing one child’s special needs).

PAACS: A Successful New Paradigm in Medical Missions David Thompson, MD Faith Hall 349
1 Hour CE
Session Information
Dr. Thompson will use this hour to educate attendees on how CMDA’s Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) has made a shift in paradigms regarding medical education. After many years of maintaining one model, they are now shifting to a new model. You will not want to miss this exciting revelation!
Objectives 1. Describe how the classical paradigm for medical missions has prevailed in resource-poor countries for the last 200 years.
2. Discuss how to help small medical teams of highly motivated, volunteer Western medical specialists to be more efficient in providing healthcare to enormous populations.
3. List ways the classical paradigm for medical missions has promoted early burnout among volunteers and chronic dependence in the communities they practiced.
4. Describe how hospital-based specialty training programs for indigenous physicians that
are modeled after U.S. residency training programs can provide a higher level of medical care to growing populations, reduce burnout and reduce dependence. 5. Evaluate how hospital-based specialty training programs in general surgery, orthopedic surgery, ENT surgery, internal medicine, family medicine and ophthalmology are proving successful in even the poorest regions of Africa.

Doing Missions as a Single Rebekah Sartori, RN, BSN Faith Hall 346
Session Information “Singleness is a gift” is a phrase you may have heard, maybe many times, like Rebekah Sartori. But it doesn’t always feel like it, and the phrase and concept often seem overused when you are the one who is single. But when we step back and look at the big picture, we see how God is able to use single individuals in building His kingdom. The Luke Commission (TLC) has been a major part of Rebekah’s journey of singleness, and she would love to share the story of how God has provided everything she needs and more as she has served with TLC the last eight years. And she is confident He will do the same for you! Objectives 1. Share the joys and struggles of commitment to full-time international work as a single person. 2. Inspire and give practical advice regarding the journey of obedience and trust when life looks different than you might have thought.

Thriving Not Just Surviving in Medical Missions Daniel Tolan, MD Faith Hall 350
1 Hour CE
Session Information
Is it possible to be surrounded by need, chaos and uncertainty and yet still thrive in missional living? How? Is it a matter of balance or is it more? This is an important concept and question for you and for your current or future family. Missional living, by nature, brings both times of surviving and times of thriving. It is unavoidable. However, living in constant survival mode leads to discouragement and disillusionment in ministry. Those in healthcare missions are especially predisposed to feeling this way. Why does this happen? Is some of this self-imposed? What can and should we do in order to spend most of our time actually thriving? Where are those areas of our lives we should pay more attention to so we are not always in survival mode? Missional living creates imbalance. In the midst, we can thrive and know peace. There are actions to take, safeguards to put in place and attitudes to adopt toward thriving and knowing peace amidst the chaos.
Objectives 1. List three major obstacles to thriving in missional healthcare missions. 2. Discuss a “balanced life” and ask if it is a valid concept. 3. Describe five themes in thriving during healthcare ministry. 4. Describe one or two personal practices you want to focus on in the coming year. #Remedy2019

Omari Hodge, MD Dr. Hodge is a board certified family medicine physician who earned his medical degree at Morehouse School of Medicine. As a primary care physician, Dr. Hodge deals with a wide array of health issues and concerns. He serves as an attending physician to the numerous medical students and residents who rotate through the clinic. Dr. Hodge is a member of CMDA and enjoys traveling, mission work and spending time with his wife and four children.
Majoring in the Minors: Avoiding Blind Spots When Building Your Mission Team Mission trips are an amazing opportunity for both the teams going and the people served. However, often times the teams are not reflective of the sending group’s local area demographics. This puts the whole body of Christ at a disadvantage, as the body is strongest when it has all its parts functioning together. How can we increase matriculation of minority groups on trips and thereby increase our effectiveness both back home and abroad? Objectives 1. Identify the need for more minority groups on mission trips. 2. Recognize how blind spots can often limit a team’s full potential. 3. Give tangible tactics that can be used to increase minority matriculation on mission trips. 4. Encourage an environment that fosters minority leadership for future trips.

Plenary Session 3 Friday, March 29 • 6:30 p.m. • Faith Hall First Floor
Mike Chupp, MD Dr. Chupp received his medical degree from Indiana University in 1988, and he then completed a general surgery residency in 1993. For 20 years, he served as a healthcare missionary at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya. He wore several leadership hats while in Kenya. In 2015, Dr. Chupp joined CMDA as Executive Vice President. In September 2019, he will begin serving as CEO of CMDA.
The Seven Words I Most Long to Hear Living a life that pleases God…shouldn’t that be a top priority for all followers of Christ? Christians in healthcare have generally been blessed with training, resources and access to people who are in greatest need, often on the fringes of society. The level of trust of healthcare professionals is often high. God has also entrusted us with time, talents and treasure. Paul told us that “it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2, NIV 1984). Jesus told a poignant and powerful parable recorded in Matthew 25 to motivate us, His disciples, 2,000 years later to be faithful stewards. This parable also serves as a great caution to examine our hearts, guard our hearts and give our hearts to please the Great Physician who entrusts us with great responsibility.

Our mission is to provide families in the developing world the tools they need to promote long-term health. Diarrhea kills 2,195 children every day—more than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. About 88 percent of diarrhea-associated deaths are attributable to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and insufficient hygiene. When diapers are not readily available, children go to the bathroom in the house, around food and water sources, and on caretakers. This is how disease begins to spread, and DriButts’ mission is to prevent these deadly diseases from spreading.

Harpur Nursing School began in 2017 in response to a severe shortage of trained nurses in the area. The nursing profession is not respected in the Middle East, and many people are hired into the position of a nurse without any training. This has a significant negative impact on patient care. The opportunity of education after high school is a novelty to many of these students. Our two-year program produces nurses trained not only with a high standard of care, but also with a sense of respect for their profession and validation of the vital role nurses have in patient outcomes. The program also teaches compassion and love for all patients, regardless of religious background or area of origin. The curriculum utilizes clinical shifts in the hospital, classroom teaching, lab practicals, simulation and community health projects.

Interserve USA interserveusa.org
Interserve is one of the oldest international, interdenominational, overseas-focused agencies in existence. We began in 1852 in South Asia to care for the poor and marginalized in such a way that they could encounter Jesus and experience the life that He wanted for them. The vision God gave to our founders is still alive. Interserve is an organization of Christ-following professionals who are committed to being servants for the hard places. We have been working in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia for 165 years. We have well-established teams of individuals from over 20 nations who support each other while serving in healthcare, local business and government support roles for the good of the local people.

ITEC
itecusa.org
ITEC supports the Great Commission by assisting the “hidden� church in its journey toward independence under the lordship of Jesus Christ. One of the great barriers that has prevented indigenous churches from growing to maturity is their continuing dependence on the welfare of outsiders. A native church that relies on the leadership, technology and financial support of foreign missionaries rarely can stand on its own when that support is withdrawn. We are convinced from the Scriptures, however, that the goal of the Great Commission is to establish churches that are self-supporting, self-governing and self-propagating.

MedSend medsend.org
MedSend enables highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals to serve spiritually and physically needy people around the world in the name of Christ. We do this by making their monthly educational loan payments while they serve. Without MedSend, these healthcare professionals would need to spend years working in the U.S. to pay off their educational debt before going and being able to answer God’s call to serve—and many would never make it to the mission field at all.
