BCM Physicians Leaders in Patient Care Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is the engine that drives the Texas Medical Center. With 1,170 physicians caring for a diverse range of patients at hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the medical center, the College is poised to become the premier clinical provider in Houston and the nation. First in Pediatric CareNearly 80 percent of Texas Children’s Hospital’s clinical staff are BCM faculty members. Their work undeniably contributes to the hospital’s outstanding reputation and its rank of sixth in the nation for pediatric care by U.S. News & World Report. Baylor College of Medicine doctors notably lead the Texas Children’s Hospital’s Passport for Care program, an initiative that provides educational and informational resources to pediatric cancer survivors and offers care recommendations specifically based on the patients’ treatment history. Caring for the CommunityBCM faculty members constitute 100 percent of the clinical staff at Ben Taub General Hospital and the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. In fact, their achievements lead to the DeBakey VA Medical Center’s receipt of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ highest award for quality achievement in 2007. At Ben Taub, our physicians work tirelessly to provide the finest possible care to the Houston area’s low-income, uninsured and underinsured populations. Restoring HopeThe Menninger Clinic, regarded as one of the top hospitals in the United States for individuals with psychiatric illnesses, is also staffed exclusively by Baylor College of Medicine faculty. At the Texas Medical Center’s Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, BCM faculty are one-third of the committed clinical staff who strive to help individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries or illnesses chart the road to health.
