Thank you for your interest and passion to serve humanity. Applications for the 9th Annual Arbaeen Medical Mission are now closed.  

 

Applications are solicited annually by all interested in serving at IMI's Annual Arbaeen Medical Missions. As a medical delegation, the majority of applicants who will be accepted are health professionals. However, a limited number of spots are available for medical students and non-health professionals who will commit to serving as administrative help including reporting on daily activities at each camp and taking appropriate pictures. All delegates applying to IMI’s Annual Arbaeen Medical Mission must commit to serving at the medical camps as scheduled by the camp director and that this service will be the primary focus of their trip. Delegates will also be responsible to attend a pre-departure orientation session and post-mission debriefing as well as report on their activities.
