The Collegium Aesculapium is a non-profit
organization for practicing and retired LDS physicians and health professionals such as: MDs, DOs, DDS, PharmDs, PhDs, DPMs,
residents, and health profession students. This organization functions
on an international,
national,
and local level. Service and education are the heart of Collegium
Aesculapium, providing a variety of
avenues where clinical knowledge and skills can be freely shared. By giving
direct
medical attention or providing educational aid, Collegium members look beyond
their own practices to experience a deeper vein of compassion.
The international Adopt a Saint scholarship fund--administered by the Perpetual
Education Fund--
fosters
self-reliance
in
developing nations by providing financial aid for many Latter-day Saint (LDS)
students in those countries. To many members of the Collegium it is the most
valuable and beneficial project that the organization sponsors. Though usually
needing less than a few hundred dollars, most of these students would be unable
to complete their educational goals without this assistance.
In support of international health, Collegium members provide funds for the
ongoing purchase of basic nursing kits which
are distributed to nurse health specialist missionaries for The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The kits contain a stethoscope,
sphygmomanometer, otoscope, and pen light. The kits are utilized by nurses in maintaining
the health of full-time missionaries for missions of the
church.
