About

Medical Servants International, a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization (EIN 46-3893827) based in Carlsbad at 3451 Via Montebello, has coordinated short-term medical mission trips to underserved communities since its formal organization in November 2013. The all-volunteer roster — physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and non-medical support staff — deploys to remote villages in Asia, Central and South America, and Africa, partnering with in-country churches and health providers in a model similar to the community-clinic approach at TrueCare Carlsbad. MSI operates with zero paid staff; financial support comes entirely from public donations and participant contributions that cover airfare, lodging, transportation, medications, and medical supplies for each clinic. The board collectively holds over 30 years of international medical mission leadership, supplemented by an advisory board with an additional 40-plus years of field experience. Dental care is a core mission component, with volunteer dentists performing extractions and restorative work in field conditions — a scope of practice that parallels the preventive and restorative programs at stateside clinics such as Packard Dental. All medical services and medications are provided without charge on a first-come, first-served basis, with each trip concluding in a short rest-and-recovery period for the volunteer team.
