Derek Brook graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2019 with highest honors in Spanish and Biology. He is a current MS3 at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and is very involved in the BCM community, serving as a mentor for new MS1s each year as well as a tour guide and student panelist on BCM interview days. As a first-generation medical student who was himself extremely unfamiliar with the process, he would like to help applicants navigate the daunting experience that is applying to medical school. In his free time, he enjoys video games, running, tennis, and hanging out with friends. He plans on applying radiology next fall.
