This year, PHS will include schools from across the country in both a virtual and in-person format. Representatives will have the opportunity to host a booth that allows students to hear information about each institution and ask questions.

In-Person Dental School Campus Tours
Texas A&M School of Dentistry is offering us some special in-person campus tours during some Fridays in April (4/14 and 4/21)! You will also have an opportunity to meet with some of our fourth-year dental students during lunch, in a panel format, so that you can ask them questions about our school. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Srikhar (Srikhar_Chilukuri1@baylor.edu) or Garett (Garett_Petty1@baylor.edu) as soon as possible and let us know which date would work better for you.
Global Health Study Abroad In Galapagos
Baylor’s Department of Anthropology is inviting applicants to the global health study abroad experience in the Galapagos islands (Summer Session II, 2023). In this program, a small group of students will travel with a research team to Ecuador and stay at three of the Galapagos Islands, as well as Quito, Ecuador’s capital city. They will have amazing experiences like snorkeling with sea turtles, hiking volcanoes, and traveling to the equator. However, this program will also serve as a major resume-building activity for students as they work alongside experts in global health conducting field research. It will be a great opportunity to develop professional relationships needed for letters of recommendation! More information can be found by following this link
