Hillcrest - Baylor PreHealth Internship Program
The purpose of the Hillcrest - Baylor PreHealth Internship Program is to provide currently enrolled Baylor University undergraduate PreHealth students with the opportunity to become more involved and familiar with medicine and healthcare in a "hands on" environment within various medical fields in order to obtain the knowledge and skills needed for their academic discipline. These opportunities will also help provide our students with a unique understanding as they apply for graduate programs, professional school and residency programs, and ultimately produce professionals who are well trained for medicine and healthcare. This program will begin in the Summer Semester of 2013.
The Hillcrest family involves Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, a fully accredited, 236-bed acute care facility in Waco including a Level II Trauma Center and Hillcrest Family Health Center, a network of family medicine clinics. Hillcrest is a ministry of Texas Baptists and is one of seven health care institutions affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center (HBMC) is jointly operated by Scott & White Healthcare and Hillcrest Health System. As a "community-owned" health care organization, Hillcrest puts all profits back into the local community by providing services such as new cardiology equipment. No individual shareholder or corporation makes any profit. A local board of trustees, made up of community members, serves without pay and manages Hillcrest operations.
