“This program is unique because we collaborate with community members and provide them with lasting skills, much like how physicians get to educate and incorporate patients into the care plan. The program has helped me understand that listening to patients and meeting them where they are helps create plans that they can adhere to.”
In recognition of their volunteer service, the Office of Temple Mayor Tim Davis issued a proclamation in appreciation of first- and second-year Baylor Temple students.
For more than 30 years, the DocPrep Program at Baylor College of Medicine has inspired and prepared high school seniors to pursue careers in health and biomedical sciences through engaging, hands-on learning opportunities.
Baylor College of Medicine leaders spent time with students from BCM Biotech Academy at Rusk, BCM Academy at Ryan, STEM+M Academy at Cunningham and Stafford STEM Academy.
