Bavitha Richard, MD

I grew up in India and come from a family of two hardworking parents and a brother who have always supported me in my pursuit to obey God’s calling. After graduating from med school in India, I had the privilege of serving as a missionary doctor for two years in my homeland. My journey following God’s directions to get trained at In His Image brought me to this country, where I also met my husband David. Together we have a wonderful son named Zephaniah. 

I graduated from In His Image in 2021 and thereafter worked in rural Colorado practicing full-spectrum family medicine and now am excited to be back in Tulsa and at IHI in 2025 to be a part of Image as faculty! As a family, we strive to do God’s ministry and are passionate about working among the Youth as well as global missions. I love the fact that I get to be part of IHI’s bigger purpose in training and equipping men and women for the Kingdom work through medicine.
