Modern American medical education started at Johns Hopkins over a century ago when the founding physicians of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine created a revolutionary medical curriculum that, for the first time, integrated a rigorous program of basic science education with intensive clinical mentoring. Today, Johns Hopkins' medical curriculum combines basic science education and clinical instruction with community-based learning. With baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degree programs, the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing provides a challenging nursing education that allows graduates to scale great heights in the profession. The school offers a challenging course of academic study, an exciting clinical experience and opportunities to conduct research with internationally-known experts. As a leading international authority on public health, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is dedicated to protecting health and saving lives. Every day, the School works to keep millions around the world safe from illness and injury by pioneering new research, deploying its knowledge and expertise in the field, and educating tomorrow's scientists and practitioners in the global defense of human life. The goal of the Johns Hopkins Office of Continuing Medical Education is to present new research knowledge and its application to health care and disease prevention through continuing medical education activities for physicians and other health caregivers. Under the clinical and scientific guidance of the Johns Hopkins faculty, the CME office sponsors varied learning opportunities for medical professionals. Graduate Medical Education The Office of Graduate Medical Education provides services and interprets policies that apply to clinical training programs and their trainees. The Associate Dean and the office staff interface with clinical training program directors and department chairs, as well as with the Housestaff Council and individual trainees. The Assistant Dean for Compliance works with training program directors to interpret, implement, and insure compliance with ACGME and GMEC policies. The Johns Hopkins University The Johns Hopkins University was the first research university in the United States. Founded in 1876, it was a whole new educational enterprise. Its aim was not only to advance students' knowledge, but also to advance human knowledge generally, through discovery and scholarship. The university's emphasis on both learning and research - and on how each complements the other - revolutionized U.S. higher education. Today, The Johns Hopkins University has ventured from its home in Baltimore to countries throughout the world - China, Italy and Singapore, among many others. It remains a world leader in teaching, patient care and discovery. |
