Special Features

The Loma Linda University faculty members are actively involved in mission related activities. Residents are encouraged to participate in a surgical mission trip, typically during their senior year of training. Past resident mission trip destinations have included Zambia, Guatemala, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, and Fiji. Two weeks are allotted for a mission trip, which can be extended with vacation time if desired. Funding is provided through a Mission Fund.
