Join us on Thursdays of even weeks from 6-7pm this quarter to hear from medical professionals, gain hands on skills, and learn about healthcare topics!
Looking for a way to have fun this quarter? Hang out with the GMT Fam on Thursday nights of odd weeks at our socials! Come out to eat, do some arts & crafts, and make some new friends :)
Every Thursday from 2-4pm, we volunteer at the Boy's and Girl's Club of Santa Ana's Food Pantry to provide food to nearby families! We also host our RAMP events, geared towards teaching children reading, math, and science!
GMT is also involved with many other non-profit and community service organizations in OC! Come volunteer with us during the week and make long lasting connections within our community!

Each spring and summer, GMT has the opportunity to travel abroad to a different Central or South American country and help medical professionals provide healthcare services to rural populations. Our trips are a unique experience and are open to all GMT general members!

ABOUT US
Global Medical Training is an international humanitarian organization that helps provide free medical services for impoverished communities, primarily in Central America. Our mission is two-fold: to offer healthcare to those that live in severe poverty while also giving students and health professionals a truly eye-opening experience that will expand their understanding of both medicine and life outside of the United States.
The organization was founded by North American Physician, Dr. Will Johnson, M.D., a lifelong humanitarian who has, and continues to implement his medical gifts for the benefit of those that cannot afford them. Global Medical Training reflects his philosophy, created with the intent to improve the condition and well-being of a global humanity. It is grounded upon the acknowledgement that undeserved suffering and unjust misery still runs rampant throughout the world. With this in mind, GMT provides students a unique opportunity to covert this knowledge into action, along with a life-changing educational experience that will undoubtedly stay with them for the rest of their lives. And through fundraisers, donations, and even money out of our own pockets, our international endeavors to provide free health care beyond the borders of the United States–to people deprived of not only adequate health care, but of even the basic necessities of life–have certainly yielded amazing results.
