Senate Resolution No. 546 commemorates the 125th anniversary of Baylor College of Medicine, which was founded in 1900 and has evolved significantly over the years. Originally established as the University of Dallas Medical Department, it became affiliated with Baylor University in 1903 and was later renamed Baylor University College of Medicine. The college moved to the Texas Medical Center in Houston in 1943 and became an independent institution in 1969, adopting its current name. Today, Baylor College of Medicine is recognized as a leading medical research institution, ranking first in Texas and 20th nationally in National Institutes of Health funding, and is classified as a Tier One medical school.

The resolution highlights Baylor College of Medicine's commitment to education, research, and community service. It emphasizes the college's role in training future healthcare providers, addressing Texas's rural healthcare shortages, and contributing to significant medical advancements, including cardiovascular surgery and genomic research. Additionally, Baylor College of Medicine engages in community outreach, providing healthcare services and educational programs to promote STEM and medical career pathways for students. The Texas Senate expresses its best wishes for the continued success of Baylor College of Medicine as it celebrates this milestone anniversary.
