Such events include a school-year kickoff grill party, lecture series, and weekly. Please join our listserve by emailing one of the organization contacts with your interest.

Mission:
The Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) was founded by medical students as a vehicle for fellowship, Bible study and prayer. Today CMDA sponsors student chapters at two-thirds of the nation's medical and dental schools. Bonded by a common faith, we are advancing Christian values in our profession and society, integrating our personal faith and professional practice, and using our skills to serve others in need.
Triangle Christian Medical Fellowship Objectives (UNC/Duke):
Click here for the TCMF website
To provide a place for UNC and Duke medical, dental, and other health professional students to grow in their faith, to explore God's Word together, and to learn more about applying their faith and beliefs to their lives as health professionals.
As a part of the greater organization of CMDA chapters around the nation, students have the opportunity to join a network of Christian doctors for fellowship & professional growth, participate in overseas & domestic mission projects, and develop a greater awareness of Christian positions and resources dealing with health care issues.
Other Graduate Christian groups in our community include:
- Christian Pharmacy Fellowship International. Join the prayer wall!
- FOCUS: Graduate Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. Friday fellowship opportunities (with Hank Tarlton!)
- MBA Christian Fellowship. Look out for annual breakfast
- Duke CMDA. We serve the medical community a few times a year at dinner in partnership with Duke.
John 17:20-23 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me." (NKJV)
