The Postdoctoral Association (PDA) at Baylor College of Medicine works to build a sense of community among our diverse postdocs as we create opportunities to develop skills necessary to be successful in any career path.
The PDA, which is comprised of and led by postdoctoral fellows, develops a sense of community by fostering social and professional interactions between postdoctoral fellows, serves as a medium to address issues relevant to postdocs, and facilitates dialogue between the postdocs and the administration. The PDA reinforces BCM's academic mission through networking events and seminars that are directed to engage postdocs in their career and professional development.

About the Postdoctoral Association
The Baylor College of Medicine Postdoctoral Association was formed in the summer of 1997 by a gathering of postdoctoral fellows who felt there was no forum available at the College to address issues specific to postdoctoral trainees. Baylor College of Medicine Postdoctoral Association represents approximately 600 postdoctoral scientists at Baylor College of Medicine.
The PDA serves as a resource where postdocs can:
- Receive information on career development opportunities currently available through the College
- Obtain written policies concerning healthcare, employment and parking
- Gain a sense of community for all postdoctoral fellows

Postdocs and “The Best Song Ever”
Postdocs recently participated in the lip sync battle at the College’s “Party on the Plaza,” where faculty, staff and learners mingled, enjoyed BBQ and the friendly competition. Winning second place with One Direction’s "The Best Song Ever” were Jason Tan, Amber Miller, Lauren Figard, Deanna Acosta, Crystal Shin, Kathleen Kong. They are pictured with Dr. Paul Klotman, president, CEO, and executive dean of the College.
