In early 2025 the Launch Survey was sent to everyone on medicalmissions.com. The results identified the most significant factors that help and hinder those who may aspire to become goers for 1+ years up to long-term. The results include the most positive factors leading to international service, which hindrances most get in the way of reaching the field, and generational differences that can affect mobilization and leading new healthcare missionaries.


The survey tabulated responses from two groups: those who have launched into full-time international service, and separately those with some international interest but who have not gone yet."
