“Volunteering in the Temple community has helped me feel more connected to the people and the place I’m serving. Through these experiences, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the community’s strengths and its health challenges / needs.”
“Being an SLP co-chair has been one of my favorite aspects of medical school so far. Through this role, I work with my co-chair to establish volunteer sites in Temple that address a social determinant of health.”
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.
