They are also used for travel subsidies to help medical students experience a Student Elective Term in a trans-cultural setting. Such settings include hospitals in South America, Africa, and Asia, as well as North America.The Steven Roth Fund is a separate fund within Mobilization For Mission which was established in memory of Steven Roth, a medical student who died of cancer in December, 1990; to honor his dream of medical mission work. It is designed to stimulate and support the participation by MMA members in international missions.
