What We Do

The Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) is a strategic response to the need for surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetrician/gynecologists in Africa. PAACS trains African physicians as surgeons and related specialists to care for the poor and the sick. PAACS also disciples these trainees to share the love of Christ with their patients to bring hope to those who are suffering.

  • PAACS Programs are now in 21 Mission Hospitals across 12 African countries.

  • Apply to become a PAACS Resident!
    Applications for 2026 are due by April 15, 2025.

  • Volunteer to serve as Short-Term Faculty across all PAACS programs.

  • You can help to save the lives of patients by supporting the training and discipleship of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetrician/gynecologists in Africa.
