Logan Lehnert, a junior Biology/Pre-Dental student at Colby College in Maine, is a driven scholar-athlete and a top varsity pole vaulter on the Colby track and field team. His passion for medicine and service began early: He has been an integral part of International Extremity Project (IEP) medical missions since 2012.
Starting with fundraising efforts and logistical support, Logan quickly took on greater responsibilities, assisting with operating room inventory, photographic documentation, and scribing for doctors during screenings. Over the past several missions, he has worked alongside nurses and surgeons in the operating room, gaining the experience and training needed to set up sterile surgical tables and assist in procedures.
Now, Logan is taking his dedication to the next level. As he prepares for dental school, he is spearheading IEP’s first-ever dental mission to Bhutan in 2025, collaborating with esteemed faculty from the University of California, San Francisco.
The Bhutan Dental Camp will focus on treating children and adults suffering from oral health conditions, including gingivitis, periodontal disease, cavities, acute infections, and oral cancer screenings. To bring this vision to life, Logan has enlisted the expertise of Dr. Richard Kao and Dr. Guo-Hao Lin, rallying a team committed to making a lasting impact.
