What Is CAAP?

CAAP is a network of Christian primary care residency programs in African mission/church hospitals.

Our Mission:

The Christian Academy of African Physicians (CAAP) supports programs that teach and mentor African physicians and primary care providers who empower the Body of Christ  to continue the teaching and healing ministry of the Great Physician. 

Our Vision: 

African physicians engaging healthcare systems to provide every person in their community compassionate care that exemplifies the healing power of Jesus. 

CAAP does this by mentoring and discipling African Christian physicians to be leaders and educators of the primary health care team while providing excellent, compassionate wholistic care to those most in need.  CAAP seeks to resource the vast network of church hospitals across Africa as they seek to provide specialty residency training to Christian physicians in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine.
