Earlier this year, the Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas Medical Education Alumni Association, officially signed up their first recruits: William Sutker, MD, and Irving Prengler, MD, were the first two members with many other distinguished alumni to follow.

In July, Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas (BUMC) was thrust into the national spotlight with the shooting of 12 police officers and two civilians in downtown Dallas. A number of the victims were cared for by the hospital’s Level 1 Trauma Center under the direction of Michael Foreman, MD, FACS, medical director of Trauma and 1987 graduate of the BUMC surgical residency program.
