Sharing successes, challenges and daily happenings in the Department of Medicine

I am writing to note the intense pain caused by a string of horrific killings (George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor), which is first and foremost piled upon our minority communities, particularly African Americans. As a white man I do not fear police, nor do I need to navigate the myriad dangers and indignities foisted […]

We are enormously pleased and proud, yet not surprised, that our department is once again ranked the number one department of internal medicine graduate program in the United States by U.S. News & World Report. This is a testament to not only our faculty educators, but our nurses and staff who support our patients and […]
What does black history mean for our university, our school and our department? The Johns Hopkins Hospital was founded in 1889 on a then unusual premise that care would be provided “without regard to sex, age or color.” This is a great part of our history, but, in fact, race played major and complex roles in our history to date.
