Medical mission opportunities
Numerous science students through the years have participated in Northwestern College’s short-term missions programs, at times gaining the opportunity to use their undergraduate science training to serve in health clinics and hospitals around the world.
Spring Service Project teams use the 10 days of spring break to travel across the U.S. and internationally to work in urban communities, orphanages and in areas affected by natural disasters.
Participants in Northwestern’s Summer of Service program spend six to 10 weeks in the summer, serving with ministries in nations all over the world. Science students have worked with the Luke Society ministry in Ghana and Peru and at Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying and the Destitute in Calcutta, India. They distributed medications; took blood pressures and temperatures; taught classes on nutrition, first aid and parasites; conducted women’s health surveys; and even assisted in surgery. Recent students also have served at orphanages in Brazil, Guatemala, India and Jamaica and at hospitals and clinics in Bahrain, Malawi, Mexico, Romania and South Africa.
