Diversity and Equity Policies
We foster diversity among our students, trainees, faculty and staff as a prerequisite, setting standards for excellence in training healthcare providers and biomedical scientists, promoting scientific innovation and providing patient-centered care.
Faculty, Staff, Learner Advocacy Guidelines
These guidelines provide members of the Baylor community with information on how to participate in legislative debate and discussion and/or become involved in political campaigns without potentially impacting the College’s federal tax-exempt status.
Initiatives
In alignment with Baylor College of Medicine’s mission, vision and values, diversity initiatives are developed and implemented by organizations throughout the College. These include initiatives to broaden the pipeline for under represented minorities to pursue careers in healthcare and research, ensure patients from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds have access to healthcare services, promote employment opportunities at Baylor to diverse populations of Houston, and use small and diverse companies for the College’s supply needs.
