Im going to Nicaragua in about two months with GMT and I am extremely excited. I go to the University of Texas- Austin and the GMT program is growing quickly here. I am apart of the club and we work closely with Dr. Wil (who is very enthusiastic and interested in predents). Dr. Wil actually used to work for the ISL program but broke off and started his own program (GMT) which is why the two programs are so similar.
The dental program is very new, I think the first dental trip was not too long ago. Dr. Wil wants at least 4-5 predents interested in going on a trip for the dental program to be worthwhile. I have been trying to recruit people as well to go on a trip this summer (7/31-8/13) I know a bunch of people that have gone on these trips, some have been several times to different countries, and they spoke about how great of an experience it was for them. Almost all the premeds I knew that went (no predents from our school have gone yet) have been asked in their interviews about their GMT trip so I think it looks really great on the apps.
Anyways, I know these programs are very worthwhile, Im hoping that enough predents sign up for my trip to go, if not im hoping to maybe go again during Spring break!
