Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings is a peer-reviewed general medical journal that presents clinical articles of interest to practitioners.

The journal is published by Taylor & Francis and owned by Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest not-for-profit health care system in Texas and one of the largest in the United States.

Baylor Scott & White Health is committed to innovation, collaboration, integrity, and compassion for the patient, and the journal attempts to highlight these values.
