We educate medical students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to practice patient-centered medicine, to study the prevention and treatment of disease, and to excel in health care delivery and in the basic sciences.
Our students have the chance to learn not just from the great minds who populate our faculty, but from the bedsides of patients from whom we all learn so much. To do so is a privilege, one we believe requires our students to possess the highest levels of candor, character, sensitivity and integrity.
Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Johns Hopkins Medicine unites physicians and scientists of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with the organizations, health professionals and facilities of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System. Johns Hopkins Medicine has six academic and community hospitals, four suburban health care and surgery centers, over 40 patient care locations, a home care group and an international division, and it offers an array of health care services.
Johns Hopkins Medicine integrates the operations and planning of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with the Johns Hopkins Health System and Hospital. From basic to translational to clinical research, Johns Hopkins medical and graduate students, residents and fellows learn from and study with Nobel laureates, Lasker Award winners and National Academy of Science members. Tomorrows biomedical research and health care leaders are learning from the best at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine today.
Today at Johns Hopkins Medicine, we see the profound influence of women leaders in every aspect of the fields of medicine and science from the operating room, to the research laboratory, to the executive suite
The mission of Johns Hopkins Medicine is to improve the health of the community and the world by setting the standard of excellence in medical education, research and clinical care. Diverse and inclusive, Johns Hopkins Medicine educates medical students, scientists, health care professionals and the public; conducts biomedical research; and provides patient-centered medicine to prevent, diagnose and treat human illness.
Nearly a century and a half ago, our founder, Mr. Johns Hopkins, wrote a letter in which he established his vision for and values of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Those values respect, dignity, integrity, inclusion, excellence, and diversity still ring true today. They continue to provide us with inspiration and direction.
