In my last post, I emphasized the importance of rest in my life. Unfortunately, the last two weeks have been anything but restful. My life has been chaotic and unfortunately I have not put the priority on rest that I emphasized before. And I can tell…I’m looking forward to the opportunity to take some time off on Sunday and get some real R & R.
Things around INMED are exciting. We’re gearing up for the 2010 Exploring Medical Missions Conference. This is the 5th one that INMED has hosted, and the 4th one that I’ve been able to be apart of. We feel pretty good about the way things are coming around, although there will almost certainly be last-minute snags that come up that we’ll have to wade through.
In addition, we’ll be hosting the INMED International Medicine Intensive Course from June 7 - 18 and the Public Health Intensive Course from June 14-18. We have 32 students signed up for the 2-week course as of now, which is the same number that we had last year. Reflecting on how great the experience was last year, I’m looking forward to meeting these brave souls who have agreed to come to Kansas City for 2 weeks and receive training for medical missions. I am certainly excited to meet them!
