The 2025 CMDA National Convention is the premier event for Christians in healthcare. We anticipate around 1,200 healthcare professionals, residents, students, spouses and more gathering with us at the St. Charles Convention Center just outside St. Louis in St. Charles, Missouri on May 1-4, 2025.
This convention provides great opportunities for you to transform as you fellowship with your fellow Christian healthcare professionals, while also learning about current health and social issues. Even more, you have the chance to network with a variety of exhibiting organizations that can help you bring the hope and healing of Christ to the world. Plus, our worship sessions will help renew your faith.
Join us at the 2025 CMDA National Convention as we discover how God is leading each of us to be A Spoke in the Wheel.
If you are a Christian healthcare professional, The CMDA Center for Well-Being is for YOU! You pour yourself out for others every day…this is a place to be refilled! We want to help you align with God, optimize your well-being and maximize your influence. We want to help you find the “sweet spot” of life again, to help you find or regain what the Bible calls “Shalom.”
The mission of Faith Prescriptions is to equip Christian healthcare professionals to communicate the love of Christ, in word and in deed, to our patients, students and colleagues. What does this look like each day as we practice? How does the love of Christ motivate us to do our very best for our patients? How can we encourage our patients to confide in us regarding their spiritual needs? How do we verbally communicate the power of the Gospel with sensitivity and respect? Many doctors from across the country will be sharing what the Lord has taught them regarding these and many other pertinent topics.
As a courtesy, we have the first video of Faith Prescriptions available for you to preview for FREE if you are not a CMDA member.

As the newest edition to CMDA’s long list of resources for our members, Standing Strong in Training is new curriculum that helps healthcare students and residents stand up against the cultural pressures facing Christians within healthcare today.
The curriculum’s seven modules are designed for group settings, allowing attendees to solidify their foundational worldview beliefs regarding important issues, such as the beginning of life, end of life and biblical sexuality. Each module also offers ideas of how to winsomely defend biblical values and positively interact with others in developing their worldview beliefs.

One of the most common reasons healthcare professionals give for not joining or renewing their membership is that they do not have time to be involved.
