Building Collaborations Between Academic and Faith-Based Organizations to Strengthen Health Systems in an Era of Pandemics
The past several decades have seen profound shifts in the global burden of disease, which has strained health systems and highlighted the need for investment in greater global collaboration. The recent global experience with COVID-19 has demonstrated the fundamental interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, and the need for an adaptive and responsive healthcare workforce. As we continue through an "era of pandemics", academic and faith-based organizations have great potential to improve health for all by collaborating and enveloping deeper partnerships.


The Mobilizing Medical Missions (M3) Conference is designed to bring together doctors, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare professionals and students, as well as anyone who has a desire to use their skills to meet pressing global healthcare needs.
