2022 M3 Conference
February 18 – 19, 2022
The Mobilizing Medical Missions (M3) Conference is designed to bring together doctors, nurses, dentists, other healthcare professionals and medical students, as well as non-medical professionals and students, who have a desire to use their skills to meet pressing global health and related community needs, both locally and abroad. The mission of M3 is to help people connect with others, be inspired, and find their mission.
At M3, you will be inspired by dozens of speakers who have served all over the world and are actively involved in sustainable global health and community work doing what they can to make a difference in people’s lives. Connect with others during the weekend’s conference activities who are like-minded and passionate about helping the ‘least of these’ in marginalized communities and in desperate circumstances. And, find your mission in the conference Exhibit Hall where you can connect with organizations providing opportunities to serve.
The M3 Conference reaches around the world to touch the hearts and lives of people in need. Don’t miss this great opportunity to be a part of a movement that is changing this world for the better, and register today to join us on February 18-19, 2022!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can attend the conference?
The conference’s primary focus is global health and medical missions, but other areas of interest include human trafficking, WaSH (water access, sanitation, and hygiene), orphan care, disaster relief, refugee care, education, and other missionary work. So if you are a physician, nurse, dentist, pharmacist or other healthcare professional, or you are in medical, dental, nursing or pharmacy school, or you are a college or high school student who is interested in medical missions, we believe this conference will be a great resource and encouragement to you. In addition, if you are not in the medical field but have a heart and passion for missions, you will fit right in, be inspired in your faith, and also find opportunities to serve. So the answer is—anyone is welcome!
