Nicaragua, December 2014

Micayla's Message

Hello! My name is Micayla and I'm a senior at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I’m majoring in Kinesiology and my goal is to become a Physician Assistant to hopefully be able to make a difference in whatever way I can! This December I have the opportunity to travel with a non-profit humanitarian organization called Global Medical Training to Nicaragua. The purpose of GMT is to provide medical treatment for those who don’t have access to the type of care they desperately need and deserve. Traveling to Nicaragua will be such an eye-opening experience and will not only further my education, but will also give me the privilege to serve where help is needed immensely. This experience will help to get my foot in the door of the medical world and I will have the chance to impact the lives of many. I really appreciate you taking the time to read a little about me and this amazing organization! I can’t thank you enough for any and all donations; they are truly appreciated and will help to make this journey possible.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical Training at the University of Tennessee is so excited to be a new student organization on campus! Read more about our chapter below, our mission, our trip, and donate if you feel inclined!

This December, the UTK chapter of GMT is headed to Nicaragua for a week long medical mission trip.

Global Medical Training is a non-profit humanitarian organization that provides free medical-dental services to underprivileged villages in Central America

GMT\'s Objectives:

- To provide, as a team, free Medical and Dental healthcare services, and free medicines to the needy in Latin America

- To teach students basic clinical skills, basic Medical / Dental knowledge, and the art of medicine, in preparation for and during implementation of the clinics

- To provide students with a first-hand experience of cultural, social, historical, and political life in these regions. We will discuss and integrate this into the medical process with our patients. Many issues will be discussed, e.g. the relationship of poverty, education, and Public Health to illness and well-being.
