Overview
Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC) in Dallas is the flagship hospital of Baylor Scott & White Health and one of the most prominent academic medical centers in Texas. Located near downtown Dallas, BUMC serves as a referral center for complex cases across the region and is known for its advanced surgical programs, cancer care, and transplant services.
As part of one of the largest nonprofit healthcare systems in the U.S., BUMC treats thousands of patients each year — and while many receive appropriate care, the hospital’s size, teaching responsibilities, and patient volume can sometimes lead to preventable medical errors.
