July 27, 2018

You may have noticed recently that our department underwent a comprehensive review, a task completed every five years for each department in the School of Medicine. I’d like to extend my thanks to the many of you who participated—whether directly or indirectly—in this Herculean administrative effort with a special call out to Holly Sellers and […]

Director’s Reflections: Pride Month

June 29, 2018

It is my privilege this month to post about Pride Month. When people think about Johns Hopkins Medicine and LGBTQ issues, the entry point is often colored by the vocal and public Paul McHugh, former head of the Department of Psychiatry, who viewed gender dysphoria as a psychological problem, not a biological phenomenon—asserting that patients […]

Director’s Reflections: Joy in Medicine

May 25, 2018

The words “Joy in Medicine” have been cropping up all over the place recently. I myself have been meaning to write a blog on the topic ever since Lee Daugherty Biddison discussed it during Medical Grand Rounds (watch her talk beginning at 25:06) during which she shared findings and solutions sought after by the Joy […]

April 20, 2018

As a longstanding institution and the cradle of graduate medical education, many of these symbols represent traditions laid down before our time.

Director’s Reflections during Women’s History Month: The Importance of Strong Role Models

March 30, 2018

Much like Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, society would not exist without both men and women. When the medical school failed to open alongside the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889 due to lack of funds, university leaders were hesitant to admit women to say the least. It wasn’t until desperation led them to accept the […]

Director’s Reflections during Black History Month: Diversity and Inclusion

February 23, 2018

Black history is intertwined in the history of Johns Hopkins with figures like Vivien Thomas, who began as an assistant to Alfred Blalock, being paid as a janitor, and went on to develop procedures used to treat cyanotic heart disease, and Levi Watkins, who became the first black chief resident in cardiac surgery of The Johns […]

Director’s Reflections: Education is Central

January 12, 2018

As the birthplace for graduate medical education, education is in our DNA. When the School of Medicine was established in 1893 (125 years ago this year) thanks to gifts from Mary Elizabeth Garrett and Johns Hopkins himself, it set the stage for Sir William Osler’s educational ideals that brought teaching to the bedside. Today, education […]

Director’s Reflections: Reaching Our Research Potential

December 1, 2017

As many of you know, I have a profound passion for scientific discovery. Part of what excited me most about directing this department was the vast pool of scientists and the available resources we have as part of the premier research university in the country. One of my goals as director has been and continues […]
