On November 18, 2020, Baylor College of Medicine announced a new affiliation with Baylor Scott & White Health. This will result in the development of a new regional medical school campus in Temple, Texas, which will enroll 40 students per year starting in Fall 2023. The school’s academic programs are consistently ranked among the top tier in the country in their respective fields. Additionally, the National School of Tropical Medicine is the only school in the nation dedicated exclusively to patient care, research, education, and policy related to neglected tropical diseases.

Baylor College of Medicine was founded in 1900 in Dallas, Texas, by a group of Dallas physicians as the University of Dallas Medical Department. The school opened on November 19, 1900, with 81 students in a former synagogue, Temple Emanu-el. In 1903, an alliance with Baylor University in Waco was formed and the name was changed to Baylor University College of Medicine.
