Favorite GMT memory: My favorite GMT memory was going on the Summer 2025 Dominican Republic trip! This was my first GMT trip, and it was such a meaningful and fulfilling experience working alongside many amazing doctors and translators and seeing the impact of care we provided! I will always remember the patients’ pure kindness, appreciation, and hope knowing they were going to receive medical care! It was such a rewarding experience to be a part of something bigger than myself, and it made me even more excited to continue serving through GMT!njoy the culture of Panama with new friends was awesome!
Why did you join GMT? I first heard about GMT during summer orientation and its mission immediately caught my eye because it aligned perfectly with passion for global health and service. Since joining, GMT has provided me with such a supportive community, incredible friendships, and memorable experiences that I could have never imagined! I’m so grateful to have found a community who share the same passion for service and continue to inspire and support each other along the way!
