Baylor partnerships

Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine partnership

 

Texas Children’s Hospital has long been affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine.

Joining forces with this leading medical school in the areas of pediatric surgery and obstetrics and gynecology to achieve healthier mothers and children. With our shared commitment to improving maternal and pediatric outcomes through research, education and healthcare, we are creating a healthier, brighter future for children and women around the world.


Research

Ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation’s top 25 medical schools for research, Baylor College of Medicine is known for advancing the health of women, children and families through scientific discovery.

Funding awarded to Baylor by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as reported by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research, reflects the depth and breadth of the college’s research enterprise, and the progress being made. Highlights in 2018 include:

  • Received more than $259 million in NIH funding
  • Ranked #20 among U.S. medical schools in NIH funding
  • Ranked #1 among Texas medical schools in NIH funding (Baylor has ranked first in Texas since the Blue Ridge Institute began publishing these rankings in 2006)
  • Ranked #7 in pediatric research funding
  • Ranked #18 in OB/GYN research funding

Through our collaboration with Baylor physicians and researchers across hundreds of projects, we are continually improving treatments and outcomes for our young patients.


Education

For more than 60 years, Texas Children’s Hospital has served as Baylor College of Medicine’s primary pediatric training site, creating the next generation of leaders in pediatric care.

As the largest pediatric hospital in the nation, providing medical care across more than 40 pediatric subspecialties, Texas Children’s offers a rich learning environment for Baylor’s medical students, residents and fellows. We also serve as a primary referral site for some of the world’s most challenging pediatric patients, providing these Baylor learners an opportunity to routinely care for patients with conditions rarely seen in most training programs.

Additionally, Baylor residents benefit from unique longitudinal assignments made possible through the continuum of care provided for mothers and babies at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women, from preconception through post-delivery, including high-risk obstetrics and a full spectrum of fetal therapies offered in only a handful of centers worldwide.


Health care

Texas Children’s Hospital is staffed primarily by Baylor College of Medicine's physicians, in addition to providing expert care across the full range of pediatric subspecialties.

Baylor faculty direct centers and services include Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women, Texas Children’s Emergency Center, pediatric surgery suites, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Texas Children's Cancer Center.


Together, we are changing more lives
