Hey Dr. Wil,

I just want to thank you for providing us students such a wonderful opportunity to provide basic medical services that we take for granted to less fortunate people in Nicaragua. It was a very humbling experience interacting with such people and seeing the conditions in which they live. I had a wonderful time and gained much practical knowledge and insights into Nicaraguan culture from you and your amazing staff. I can't wait to go back to learn more and to take part in helping more people. You are truly an inspirational figure. Once again, thank you.

            GMT Nicaragua offers unforgettable learning and cultural experience for students seeking to become dentists. The coordinators and doctors guided each and every one of us from the day we arrived at the airport until the very end.

            The clinics provide us with a range of pragmatic dental experience, from basic cleaning and doing temps to doing fillings and composites for cavities. In addition to learning common

            Every single clinic day offers a unique experience with different patients and cases at different settings and environments. As a result, I learned to provide the best service and treatment for each patient under difficult conditions with limited supplies in some facilities or other unexpected events. The most unfortunate aspect about the trip was the lack of power at some places we worked at, preventing us from using some of the equipment. Hence, we could not proceed with treatments like composites for severe cavities we encountered.

Hello Dr. Johnson,

I don't know if you remember me, but I went on two consecutive GMT trips in Panama this past 3 weeks.

I just wanted to let you know that I had an amazing time and appreciate what GMT has done to me. It really helped me solidified my dreams. I also am really inspired by what your programs doing in many communities - it's exactly what I wish to do in the future and why I want to become a doctor. Thank you!

p.s.: I wish I had a chance to meet you. Hope all is well with you!

Sincerely,
Gloria Kim

 Dear Dr. Wil,

It was a wonderful trip in the Dominican Republic, going on the GMT trip was a great learning experience. Not only did I learn more about medicine and various diseases, I also learned about the culture and demographics of Dominican, and some spanish. In fact, after the trip I made a 2011 "new year's resolution" to learn full-on spanish by the end of the year. The GMT staff were absolutely amazing, they welcomed us with open arms and a loving heart, they adopted us for one week, they made sure we were safe, happy, and
healthy.
