UTK GMT, Panama 2015



Azaria's Message

Hey everyone! I first want to thank you for visiting my site, it means the world that you are wanting to help me help others! I am beyond excited to be able to have this experience this Christmas Break to travel to Panama and provide health care to people in need. I am currently a Senior at the University of Tennessee and am planning on attending Physician Assistant school once I graduate in May. I have a passion for helping others and feel that this experience is going to be one that I will never forget! No donation is too small and all are very appreciated, as this trip is going to be hurting the wallet with a $1205 price tag not including a plane ticket (around $1000). If you would like to know more about the trip that I am taking with GMT check out the volunteer activity description below! Thank you again for all your love and support as I begin this journey!

Volunteer Activity Description

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Global Medical Training chapter will be traveling to Panama this December. 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.

Please join us as a volunteer or help support our mission!
