Favorite GMT memory: My favorite GMT memory is my very first clinic day on my trip to the Dominican Republic. It was so inspiring to get to work alongside the GMT doctors and translators while doing our best to help as many patients as possible. We had a great trip group filled with so many hardworking students and it was amazing to get hands-on experience and make a difference!
Why did you join GMT? I joined GMT my sophomore year after looking into all of the pre-health organizations at UT. Compared to the others, GMT has a truly inclusive atmosphere that encourages members to feel like they aren't alone. I've made so many strong friendships with the people I've met because of how genuine the members are. It's always nice to have friends who are going through the same journey as you are!
