Baptist Health is now accepting applications for our 2026 Pre-Med Academy program, designed to assist college students on the pre-med track to develop mentorships with local physicians. Programs are available at Baptist Health La Grange, Baptist Health Hardin, Baptist Health Corbin, Baptist Health Floyd and Baptist Health Paducah.

Selected students will be given the opportunity in summer 2026 to rotate with physicians and advanced practice providers throughout their chosen area(s) of interest. Students will spend an average of 20 hours a week for four - six weeks, shadowing providers in a variety of healthcare settings and specialties. A stipend will be provided upon successful completion of the program.

In addition, opportunities for networking and an annual celebration are just a few of the benefits of participating in the annual Baptist Health Pre-Med Academy. We look forward to receiving your application.
