BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE and its Affiliated Institutions

Baylor College of Medicine ranks in the top ten of the nation's medical schools. Baylor attracts students from around the world, and since 1969 has maintained a partnership with the State of Texas. The school offers programs for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, allied health students, and resident physicians pursuing specialty training. In addition, Baylor extends patient-care services to 17 institutions in Houston, reaching more than 135,000 inpatients and more than one million outpatients annually. Although Baylor College of Medicine is known for producing academic physicians, biomedical researchers, and clinical specialists, most of its graduates enter the primary-care fields of family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, and pediatrics.

Department of Medicine, Design and Analysis Unit The Design and Analysis Unit of Baylor College of Medicine's DeBakey Heart Center, and the National Heart and Blood Vessel Research and Demonstration Center (NRDC), was established in 1977. It provides support in biostatistics, epidemiology, data management, and related areas. Objectives of the Unit are: 1) to assist in the planning and design of projects consistent with the overall goals of the NRDC; 2) to assist individual investigators in matter of data collection and data management; 3) to assist in the analysis and interpretation of data to be reported by individual investigators; 4) to maintain and disseminate current information on data management resources--hardware and software--accessible by investigators for the management of their own research; 5) to provide limited direct access to computing equipment for investigators with only occasional need for such support; 6) to provide computer programming consultation and support to individual investigators; 7) to collaborate substantially with center investigators in those areas where the particular research interests and competence of the staff makes this appropriate; and 8) to initiate research in areas appropriate to the goals of the NRDC. Senior statistician, Kay Dunn, Ph.D. is a frequent collaborator with the Center for Research on Women with Disabilities.
