Baylor College of Medicine Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Baylor College of Medicine is a private medical school located in Houston, Texas, USA. It allied with Baylor University in Waco, Texas in 1903 and moved to the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas in 1943. In 1969, Baylor College of Medicine separated from Baylor University under the direction of Dr. Michael E. Baylor College of Medicine ranked 10th overall in the 2007 U.S. News and World Report top medical schools for research and 11th for top primary care. Baylor College of Medicine is the only private medical school in the southwest region of the United States, and has the lowest tuition of all private medical schools in the United States. Baylor is one of the few medical schools in the United States that is structured with 1.5 years of preclinical coursework followed by 2.5 years of clinical rotations. While MD Anderson is affiliated with the University of Texas, its faculty and trainees may be affiliated with either Baylor or the University of Texas medical school in Houston, which is located across the street from Baylor. Baylor’s primary private affiliate then became St. Luke’s, while Methodist has affiliated with the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, which is located in New York City. The plan for St. Luke’s to be Baylor’s primary private teaching hospital dissolved, and Baylor now plans to build its own 250 bed hospital within the Texas Medical Center3 Such a hospital would give Baylor more control over its clinical mission and streamline the clinical use of research advances. Baylor is also affiliated with DeBakey High School for Health Professions, the only exemplary high school in Houston Independent School District. The high school is part of a premed program with Baylor and the University of Houston where the top students in the senior class apply to receive conditional acceptance to BCM after completing college at the University of Houston. They have a long-standing combined program with Rice University in Houston, with the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg, Texas and with Baylor University in Waco. For all these programs, entering college freshmen who are accepted into the program receive conditional acceptance to Baylor College of Medicine. The Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative at Baylor College of Medicine is one of 23 centers nationally funded by the Fogarty International Center of the U.S. National Institutes of Health as an AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP).
