A nonprofit church-related professional organization of Seventh-day Adventist physicians, medical students, and other health-care workers desiring fellowship, scientific exchange, and mutual encouragement in Christian service. Many local chapters have been organized in the Caribbean and Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa since the initiation of AIMS at Loma Linda in 1977. A major project of AIMS has been the publishing of the Health Evangelism Study Guide , which was developed as an introduction to a distinctive SDA lifestyle and method of medical practice, and as a beginning guide to work in health evangelism. It has been, or is currently being, translated from English into Spanish, German, Russian, and French. Although affiliated with the LLU SM Alumni Association, AIMS is organizationally separate, as it attempts to serve the many health professionals around the world who are not LLU graduates. Further information is available from AIMS, 11245 Anderson St., Suite 200, Loma Linda, California 92354.
