Resources
One of our goals is to connect students and professionals with resources to help them integrate their faith and medical practice. Check out our library of recommended resources, our “speaker’s bureau” of Philadelphia-area physicians who are willing to speak at campus Bible studies, our audio and video recordings of recent events and more!
Campus Leaders Only Resources
MCO keeps a list of Philadelphia-area physicians and healthcare providers who are willing to speak at campus Bible studies or special retreats. We also support campus Bible studies in many other ways. Bible study leaders may access all these features under the password-protected page linked here. To receive the password please contact us.

Announcements & News
The following news items are things which we think may be of interest to you. MCO may not be directly involved with each posting but we are passing along the information as a resource to help you.
Need Housing?
Need housing starting this summer? Come and live at Medical Campus Outreach’s women’s or men’s ministry houses with other healthcare students and professionals. The houses foster community and discipleship. Rent is inexpensive, and the houses are in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia close to major highways and regional rail and bus lines. Contact Laura for the women’s house and Justin for the men’s house. Graduate healthcare students preferred, but others will be considered.
