ABOUT THE MEDICAL CADET CORPS

Formally organized in the 1930s, the Seventh-day Adventist Medical Cadet Corps/MCC is a volunteer uniform service organization working under the organizational authority of the General Conference World Service Organization down into the local Conferences of North America. In addition to its original goal of training Adventist Youth for non-combatant military service, it has developed as a disaster and emergency response entity. Its members are fully trained, duly certified and serve as a ministry in the community under strict uniform discipline to respond to natural or man-made crisis. MCC’s serve as certified front line first responders as well as providing logistical support in the field. The work of the Medical Cadet Corps is a tangible one, providing certified basic life support first aid/BLS, certified mental health first aid, certified spiritual first aid, disaster response and relief as well as basic rescue at the epicenter of an emergency.Logistical support includes the augmenting of warehousing and supply operations, traffic and crowd control and public safety. In the Northeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventist, the SDAMCC operates within the Adventist Youth Ministries Department. The SDAMCC-NEC operates on a brigade model to cover all areas of the Conference territory.
