Residency Program

Multiple MMI 500 Centers now have Residency Programs training national doctors to expand the work of reaching those in need with healing and hope.

The Elias Santana Hospital in the Dominican Republic, with its award winning Ophthalmology Residency program under the direction of Dr. Juan Batlle, is a model for new programs starting in other places around the world. Faculty members volunteer one day each week at the hospital while maintaining successful private practices.

Along with their medical training, residents learn to walk with the Lord and develop a special place in their hearts for those in need. The teaching focuses on three components: high academic standards, an emphasis on caring for the poor, and the spiritual aspect of caring for people. Several graduates are now running MMI 500 Centers and establishing residencies of their own.
