Check out what a medical student had to say about his first ever GHO mission trip ⬇️

"I’m extremely thankful for all the healthcare professionals who poured into me during the trip. The nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and others all cultivated an environment where I could learn and grow. In our final team meeting, I shared how medicine back in the States can sometimes feel malicious—competitive, and filled with peers who aren’t always patient or understanding. I loved how this trip allowed me to use what I have and grow from where I am as a student doctor. I was able to accurately identify abnormal heart sounds and perform point-of-care testing such as blood sugar checks, urinalysis, and pregnancy tests. I also practiced physical exam maneuvers, including ear, eye, abdominal, and musculoskeletal exams. The four and a half days I spent seeing patients in [the Dominican Republic] were comparable to the total amount of time I spent with real patients throughout my entire first year of medical school—and that’s mind-blowing from an educational perspective. I would encourage any medical student to have this kind of experience. It’s one thing to apply classroom knowledge in the real world, but doing it in tropical conditions with patients who speak a different language adds a whole new layer. It’s the perfect storm of challenges—pun intended—that will make everything I learned and practiced on this trip stick with me for the rest of my life."

From a team member on the June El Salvador team -

"Every day, we wake up at 6am, start with team meetings, devotions, and take a long, bumpy ride to the clinic. We work all day in the heat, see hundreds of patients, then return late at night—physically drained, but spiritually full. We shower in cold water, use toilets that don’t flush, with flies everywhere, eat food I never imagined I’d try, drink only bottled water, and even brush our teeth with it, and fight off relentless mosquitoes. It’s nothing like home.
But somehow—it’s everything I needed.

Because every inconvenience fades when I look into the eyes of someone we’re helping. Every smile, every hug, every “gracias” reminds me exactly why I’m here:
To serve, to love, and to care."
