Dr. WIL BAKER:
Born and raised in Atmore, he answered God’s call to ministry just after high school graduation. He then earned degrees from Howard College, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and the University of Southern Mississippi, while pastoring Baptist churches, and completed his PhD at New Orleans Seminary. From 1974-1994, he was Professor of Family Medicine at the University of South Alabama. After retiring, he helped develop the Alabama Medical Education Consortium, a “medical school without walls,” which gave birth to the Alabama College pf Osteopathic Medicine in Dothan, where he is now Associate Dean for Clinical Resources.
