Serving with Christian Health Service Corps
There are three types of long-term service through Christian Health Service Corps. One is for professionals and spouses seeking to serve at mission hospitals and health programs. The second is for healthcare and allied health professionals seeking to work at the community level focusing more on health promotion than healthcare delivery. The third type is for anyone who serves in an operations or support staff role here in the USA or at any CHSC affiliated hospital, or health program. We also have a select number of short-term service opportunities such as pediatric cleft and heart surgical teams, medical school and residency faculty rotations.

Required Training
Customized Preparation
CHSC pre-field preparation and training is largely customized to the individual and the service location. Some may require extensive 4 to 6 week cross cultural preparation. Others may require less cross cultural training but more preparation in clinical guidelines for global health and tropical medicine. The preparation is designed in cooperation with the candidate and CHSC leadership.
