Baylor College of Medicine, dedicated to creating knowledge and applying science and discoveries to further education, healthcare and community service, was established more than a century ago. It became fully independent from Baylor in 1969 and is now located in the world’s largest medical complex, Texas Medical Center in Houston. The College of Medicine aims to prepare the next generation of biomedical and health science leaders through its medical training and other educational offerings. With more than 1,200 physicians who provide clinical care to patients in facilities across the Texas Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine was named in the top 10 Best Medical Schools for Primary Care and Pediatrics by U.S. News & World Reports. There are currently more than 700 medical students and 800+ graduate and allied health students at the medical school. Baylor’s 10-year Best Minds, Best Medicine Campaign raised over one billion dollars, 74% of which came from first-time donors.
