In this live-recorded episode from the 2025 CMDA National Convention, we sit down with Dr. HK, DDS, Oral Medicine and Associate Executive Officer of ICMDA, who serves across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. A passionate servant-leader, Dr. HK shares how one “yes” to a volunteer opportunity launched a lifetime of Christ-centered influence in healthcare. From training leaders through the Saline Process to mentoring students in mission outreaches and advocating for the marginalized, his story invites us to see our own work through an eternal lens. Whether you’re in a small clinic or a global network, this conversation will stir your heart for discipleship, purpose, and the global call of the Great Commission in medicine and dentistry.
