Panama



Alexis's Message

The Lord has put on my heart an opportunity to travel to Panama this summer on a medical mission trip. I will be journeying to Panama with Global Medical Training - an International Humanitarian Organization that administers free medical attention, resources, and services to the poor communities in Central America. We will be providing free health care to a variety of patients through medical assessments and treatment. I am excited for this experience and the opportunity to be exposed to communities that need medical attention.

Volunteer Activity Description

We will be traveling to Panama to provide medical care to underserved populations.
We utilize multiple clinic sites in various geographic locations, and travel considerably. These are moderately difficult trips. The students who participate in these trips are generally healthy, both emotionally and physically. In general, they possess a strong sense of personal spirituality and purpose, a confident awareness of their intellectual gifts, and a caring attitude. They seem particularly motivated to acquire special knowledge and skills, and a desire then to apply themselves actively to the service of others.

GMT physicians-dentists supervise all the healthcare aspects, see patients along with the students, and teach them by very active engagement in the total healthcare process. Professionals provide topical lectures, end of the day group sessions and spontaneous discussions about specific cases and general problems e.g. lack of basic disease prevention and public health measures, tropical diseases, lack of education, cultural aspects, poverty, etc. We discuss this especially within the context of healthcare professionals living on a planet with millions of people having minimal or no access to healthcare, widespread poverty, inadequate diets, unhealthy living conditions, and often-lacking humane treatment.
