Panama



Sarah's Message

Hey everyone! I am so excited to announce that I will be adventuring to Panama for a medical mission trip this August. The trip is through an organization called Global Medical Training. GMT is a humanitarian organization that provides free medical attention to medically deprived countries in Central America. On this trip, I will be exposed to and will be actively involved in assessing and treating patients who might otherwise not receive the medical attention they need.

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.
