Medical Education International is a short-term missions program that provides academic teaching and clinical training while spreading the gospel to doctors and students in hard to reach countries.

MEI’s primary goals are spiritual—the spiritual development of team members, encouraging local believers and missionaries, and sharing Christ’s love and the Good News with international colleagues. Teams also hope to improve healthcare by improving the knowledge and skills of local professionals, especially faculty. Participants donate their time and self-fund their trips.

Every year in November they send a surgical team to Cuba for 10 days.  Wayne joined the team in 2023 and visited several cities across Cuba serving in various capacities such as giving lectures, educating colleagues, operating with Cuban surgical teams, and supporting local ministry efforts.
