Favorite GMT memory: My favorite GMT memory was my first GMT trip to the Dominican Republic! This was my first medical trip and I will always remember just how grateful the patients were. Seeing the hope in patient's eyes knowing they are coming to get medical care is very impactful.
Why did you join GMT? I joined GMT because I wanted to be a part of an inclusive atmosphere that encourages members to feel like they aren't alone. I also really admired the mission of GMT and I truly believe that the best clinicians are those with the best understanding of diverse cultures that exist in this world.
