Grand Rounds® a hole-in-one
for medical education
The 13th annual Baylor Health Care
System Foundation Grand Rounds® Golf
Tournament was sponsored by Bank of
Texas for the sixth consecutive year. The
annual fall golf tournament teed off on
October 6 at Northwood Club and raised
more than $280,000 to support undergraduate and graduate medical education at
Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
More than 200 leading citizens and 50 sponsors from across the Dallas community came
out for the day of golf, including platinum
sponsors Duke Realty, General Data Tech,
Kaufman Hall, The David B. Miller
Family Foundation, Wells Fargo Bank and
Western Extrusions. Gold sponsors this
year included JW Homes, Northern Trust
and Perkins+Will. Since the first tournament, Grand Rounds supporters have contributed several million dollars toward medical education initiatives.
Grand Rounds has taken on an increasingly important role in recent years. The
Association of American Medical Colleges
has predicted that there will be a shortage of
more than 90,000 doctors by 2020. A recognized leader in the training of medical professionals since 1903, Baylor Dallas trains
approximately 220 residents and fellows in 30
specialties each year – ranging from internal
medicine to vascular surgery to pathology.
With donor support, the Foundation plans to
fund 23 residents and fellows in fiscal year
2015 at a cost of more than $2.4 million.
“The cost of providing graduate medical
education continues to rise and support of
Grand Rounds ensures that we continue to
offer high-quality medical education programs,” said Rowland K. Robinson,
Foundation president. “Our goal is to help
secure the future of our community by training the best and brightest minds to practice
safe, quality, compassionate health care.”
