Nicaragua, December 2014

olivia's Message

Hi! I'm Olivia Workman, a senior at the University of Tennessee studying Food Science and Technology with a pre-med concentration. With this degree, I plan to pursue a career in Physician Assistants where I will have the opportunity to improve patients lives and overall wellness. In December, I will be attending a medical mission trip through Global Medical Training with a group of forty seniors. I will be traveling to Nicaragua for a week where I will not only learn vital medical skills while providing hands on patient care but become more educated with this countries culture and medical needs. I would be so lucky to embark on this incredible adventure where I can explore my vocational calling in a way I would never be able to do in the US. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and the goals of GMT. Also, thank you so much for your prayers, donations, and support as I begin to prepare for this amazing trip!!

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.
