Dear Ministry Partner, On Tuesday, March 2 nd we have the opportunity to talk about how the landscape is changing for training medical professionals wanting to serve in lower-resourced countries. Our guest is a very well-known surgeon and international leader, Dr. David Thompson. Dr. Thompson is regarded as the key pioneer in establishing surgical residencies in Africa whose personal experience spans numerous countries in different settings throughout the world. Born in the U.S, he grew up in Cambodia where his parents worked for 16 years. When he was 14, he and his father tried unsuccessfully to save a Cambodian man who was seriously injured when a truck and a bus collided. God used the incident to plant a desire in David's young heart to become a doctor and help people who had limited healthcare access. David graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1973 with an M.D. and eventually completed five years of residency in general surgery in Southern California. In 1977 he and his wife Rebecca moved to Gabon, Africa and for the next 34 years built a 150-bed full-service hospital to provide medical services to Gabon's least served provinces. In 1996, Dr. Thompson helped establish the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS), an organization that trains African surgeons at Christian hospitals throughout the continent and oversees teaching programs in 8 countries with 105 residents in training. Since 2014, Dr. Thompson has been working as a volunteer to train Egyptian surgeons at Harpur Memorial Hospital. This is a discussion you do not want to miss.
