Baylor partnerships

Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine partnership
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
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
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
- The creation of the Emergency Medical Services for Children Innovation and Improvement Center to enhance pediatric emergency medical services in the U.S., both in the pre-hospital and hospital settings, improving outcomes for children in need of urgent or emergency care.
- The Baylor College of Medicine International Pediatric AIDS Initiative at Texas Children’s Hospital (BIPAI), a pioneering program to improve global child health by providing high-quality, high-impact and highly ethical pediatric and family HIV/AIDS care and treatment, healthcare education and clinical research in resource-limited settings.
- The Texas Children’s Center for Global Health, focused on addressing major causes of diseases and conditions impacting child health and survival globally, such as tuberculosis, malaria, malnutrition and cancer, changing the outlook for children affected by life-threatening but treatable disease.
- Joint operation of The Children’s Nutrition Research Center, a U.S. Department of Agriculture facility that conducts research on the nutritional needs of pregnant and nursing women and their children to improve the health of future generations.
- Collaborative membership in NIH's Undiagnosed Diseases Network, a national network of clinicians and scientists established to help address the most rare and difficult-to-solve medical cases from around the country and to develop effective approaches to diagnose them.
