Matthew Reid became the first Baylor University undergraduate student intern with the U.S. Public Health Service Junior Commissioned Officer Student Training and Extern Program (JRCOSTEP) . Matthew spent his summer in Billings, Montana, where he engaged in unique, hands-on environmental health and epidemiology training with the Indian Health service.

"We're very proud of Matthew's accomplishment; such an experience is so valuable and a rare opportunity for an undergraduate," said Dr. Bryan Brooks, Director of Baylor's Environmental Health Science Program.

Overseen by the Surgeon General, the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is an elite team of more than 6,500 highly qualified, public health professionals. To be eligible for the competitive JRCOSTEP program, applicants must have completed at least 2 years in professionally accredited baccalaureate programs. The Environmental Health Science program at Baylor is one of only 30 nationally accredited undergraduate degrees in the field.
