Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI) Campus includes the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the School of Nursing. The school is notable for having many ‘firsts’ in the medical community, including being the first medical school to require students to have an undergraduate degree, and the first medical school to admit women as equals to men. The founder, William Osler, was also the first doctor to set up a residency program, where doctors just starting out could ‘reside’ at certain hospitals to help establish quality care for their patients. Johns Hopkins is also currently one of the only hospitals to have pediatric and eye trauma centers in Maryland.
With about 480 students, the Johns Hopkins medical school has small class sizes with a faculty-student ratio of approximately 5 to 1. Students can complete a traditional MD degree in four years or a joint MD/PhD degree in eight. There are also dual degree programs for the MD/MPH (Masters of Public Health) and the MD/MBA degree.
The Johns Hopkins medical school is divided into four colleges (Florence Sabin, Vivien Thomas, Daniel Nathans, and Helen Taussig) named after famous Johns Hopkins faculty members. Students are placed in one of the four groups when they begin their medical school education. Advisers are assigned to students in groups of five from each college. These advisers also teach “Clinical Skills,” which is a first-year course mandatory to all incoming students. The advisers remain with their designated students for their entire four-year education. Each of the colleges competes in the College Olympics every year.
The Johns Hopkins medical school curriculum consists of Genes to Society courses which blend academics and clinical experience. After several months, classes stop for “Intersessions,” which are week-long courses on simulation and advanced skills. Many students decide to pursue dermatology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, or anesthesiology.
There are also opportunities for extracurricular activities, with about 30 student organizations on campus. Plenty of students also choose to get involved in community service projects in the Baltimore area. Applicants looking to study at the prestigious school should investigate the many well-respected programs at the Johns Hopkins medical school.
