As Baylor College of Medicine celebrates its 125th anniversary, it stands on the brink of a new era of progress and growth. Under the visionary leadership of President, CEO and Executive Dean Paul Klotman, M.D., Baylor has solidified its reputation as a research powerhouse and a top institution for education and patient care.
On September 1, 2010, Dr. Klotman began his tenure at Baylor. During his first year, he developed strategies to 1) stabilize the financial platform, 2) build out the McNair Campus, 3) recruit top scientists, clinicians and educators, 4) grow Baylor’s clinical enterprise and 5) establish new programs and specialized research centers. Today, he oversees the only private health sciences university in the Greater Southwest, with research funding of more than $660 million.
Total Revenue: Increased from $1.15 billion to over $2.6 billion.
Endowment: Grew from $719 million to $1.6 billion.
Faculty Growth: Tripled from under 1,800 to nearly 5,500.
Departments, Centers and Schools: Added three new departments, three new academic centers and the National School of Tropical Medicine.
Research and Innovation: Established 26 new labs providing cutting-edge support across the Texas Medical Center.
Global Programs: Expanded to 60+ countries, focusing on healthcare and educational collaboration.
STEM+M Programs: Established 21 K-12 school-based programs in Texas.
Teen Health Clinics: Expanded local outreach through these clinics and other educational programs.
These priorities define the bold vision championed by Dr. Paul Klotman throughout his tenure and continue to guide Baylor College of Medicine as it looks to the future.
Join us in honoring Dr. Klotman’s leadership by supporting two initiatives established to reflect this commitment: the Klotman Innovation Fund and the Paul Klotman, M.D. Scholarship.
The Innovation Fund gives Baylor’s president—and future presidents—the flexibility to invest in groundbreaking ideas that rarely receive traditional funding but have the power to transform healthcare. These opportunities spark new treatments, improve patient care and bring life-changing discoveries from concept to reality.
The Paul Klotman, M.D. Scholarship opens doors for talented students who aspire to become physicians and scientists. These scholars will embody Dr. Klotman’s legacy— intellectual curiosity, bold leadership and a commitment to advancing healthcare for all.
With a goal to raise $20 million, these efforts represent a commitment to innovation and access—two pillars that will strengthen Baylor’s impact worldwide.
