NYCOM Student Chapter
Christian Medical and Dental Association – CMDA
Mission: To expose and instill God’s love, healing, and hope in the medical community.
National Organization: http://www.cmda.org/
Our Chapter: At our official club meetings, we will have different speakers to come in and talk about their experiences in the medical field. As a club, CMDA wishes to give back to the community. We are thinking about getting a group to volunteer at a soup kitchen. We are holding both a clothing drive as well as a Thanksgiving food drive. We also wanted to raise money through a bake sale to support either a local charity or a missions trip. If possible, we might get involved in a Midnight Run, where food is delivered to the homeless in NYC.
