College students, who are interested in attending medical school, have until March 17 to apply for Baptist Health Corbin’s Pre-Med Academy. The goal of this program is to provide valuable support and guidance to college students pursuing a career in medicine, while allowing them to build relationships with current physicians.
This program will give students an inside look at medical careers to help them determine what they want to do and why. It allows them to shadow a variety of medical professionals, who will give them a unique perspective as they go through hospital departments and help students network for future job opportunities and provide valuable experience for applications to graduation programs.
The paid internship will take place this summer over the course of four-to-six weeks. During this time, students will rotate with physicians and other medical professionals across various departments.
This comprehensive summer program allows undergraduate, pre-medicine students to shadow physicians, advanced practice clinicians and other providers, providing them with a well-rounded experience. All students who complete the program will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
Those who are selected will be placed with physicians and advanced practice clinicians related to their chosen area of interest. Students will spend an average of 20 hours a week shadowing providers in a variety of healthcare settings and specialties.
To be eligible, applicants must have completed high school and be enrolled in a university with at least one semester completed and have a 3.5 GPA or higher. For students who graduated in May 2024, 30 hours of college course work must have been completed.
Those who are interested will need to complete an application, submit three letters of recommendation and complete a 400-word essay explaining why they should be selected for this opportunity.
