DOI Overview
Since the College was founded in 1900, Baylor College of Medicine has been an organization with a legacy of excellence, created and nurtured by its faculty, staff and trainees. To maintain the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct, free from influence that might create even an appearance of bias, the College requires the disclosure of certain interests and an appropriate response when possible conflicts arise.
Beginning in fiscal year 2020, the College will be implementing its annual Disclosure of Financial Interests requirement through the College’s new Disclosure of Outside Interests (DOI) Tool. All covered personnel and investigators will be required to submit a disclosure of financial interest, at least annually, using the DOI tool.
