Join us for a series of intimate conversations with alumni and other professionals working in healthcare careers. Get valuable advice and make connections to help you explore career options. Come to any or all of the conversations that interest you. Bring your lunch to the noon sessions, if you like. This session features Travis Bias ’04, DO, MPH, and Baylor Scott & White family medicine physician Michael Hilts, MD.

 

Travis Bias’ medical career is the perfect expression of his liberal arts education. 

Following Family Medicine residency training, he joined a small private group practice in Pflugerville for three years, then worked on-site at Apple’s corporate campus in north Austin for the last year as the Lead Physician. But in addition to obtaining his medical degree, Travis also earned a Master of Public Health and  Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. After a few short-term stints in western Kenya, he is now on his way to more work in east Africa, where he’ll be teaching in a Family Medicine residency in Kenya and then either a residency program or medical school elsewhere in east Africa – the first through Samaritan’s Purse and the latter being through SEED Global Health, a public private partnership with the US Peace Corps. Down the road, Travis imagines he will pursue more public health or policy work.
 

Dr. Michael Hilts provides family care and sports medicine services at Baylor Scott & White Health’s Georgetown Central and Lago Vista Clinics.

 

Dr. Hilts graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara on the dean’s honor roll, where he received his Bachelor of Science in biological sciences. He received his medical degree from the University of Utah School of Medicine.  He completed his family medicine residency and his sports medicine fellowship at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, NC.

 

Dr. Hilts is a diplomate of the American Board of Family Practice. He is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine.
