PG SHILOH

ALL POSTGRADUATES AND INTERNS

(Medical, Nursing, Allied Health and Dental)

PG Shiloh is a Sunday afternoon session for postgraduates of the Medical, Nursing, Allied sciences and Dental branches. Shiloh is a Christian conference for medical students with a medical mission focus. Along with our mission partners – CMC has always identified the need for a special session that addresses all disciplines of postgraduates and fellows along the same lines. This group are often the most equipped to be involved in medical missions in the medium to long term. There are however various questions that arise regarding finances, sustainability and practicality of working in remote parts of the nation. PG Shiloh has evolved to be a space to encourage such medical professionals and address issues that are relevant to them. It is our prayer that the speakers chosen this year will speak to your hearts. To challenge you and equip you to meet the difficult needs of post graduate life and help you seriously consider a life in or supporting medical missions.
