SMI

Summer Medical Institute (SMI) is the medical missions trip run by Valley Baptist Family Practice Residency, in partnership with Valley Baptist Missions and Education Center, Friends of Jesus, and with the support of many churches in Harlingen and surrounding areas. Started by Medical Campus Outreach (MCO) of Philadelphia, the vision remains to train a new generation of healthcare providers who are Christ-centered and Biblically integrated in their approach to healthcare. SMI is a discipleship ministry, where God ministers to the team through intimate discipleship groups, teachings from Christian doctors, regular dependence on God through prayer, living out the Gospel in a close community, and loving our neighbor through service. God also ministers through the team as we give door-to-door health and spiritual screenings in Harlingen, Texas, and run mobile health clinics in churches in the Rio Grande Valley.
