Part-time Faculty Teaching Opportunities

Our Faculty produce leaders in Medicine who apply their broad medical education foundation to improving health through Johns Hopkins Medicine tripartite mission.

Every graduate is measured by their ability to:

• Diagnosis, manage, and prevent clinical problems applying scientific principles and a multidisciplinary body of scientific knowledge.
• Understand variations in expressing health and disease using critical biomedical research evaluation.
• Obtain a sufficient level of medical knowledge to understand basic facts, concepts, and principles for competent medical practice.
• Gather, organize, and interpret data, and make effective and efficient clinical descisions to prevent, diagnose, and manage disease.
• Understand and respond to influential social, behavioral, and economical factors affecting health, disease, and medical care.
• Communicate empathetically with patients and families to form and sustain effective medical care.
• Present clear and organized information and ideas when educating or informing patients, families, colleagues and community.
• Maintain high ethical judgment and conduct standards, as related to health care milieu.
• Self-appraise medical knowledge and practice critically, and exchange constructive appraise with patients, families, and colleagues.
• Realize personal knowledge and experience limits, and actively acquire new knowledge and skills to improve medical practice or contribute to�scientific body of medical knowledge.

Genes to Society

 

Implemented in the Fall of 2009 to ensure graduates continue to become leaders in research, clinical care, and education.  The Curriculum Reform Committee carefully reviewed and deliberated the undergraduate medical curriculum for Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and charged 12 discipline-based committees to identify and deliver course content. The Genes to Society Integration Committee planned, governed, and implemented the new curriculum.

Scientific Foundations of Medicine is the first thre months preceding Genes to Society, and emphasizes fundamental principles of basic sciences, social sciences, public health, and information skills reinforced during Genes to Society.

Genes to Society runs through the end of Year II, and is divided into disciplines that combine the "traditional", "normal", and "abnormal". Each discipline teaches upon the same framework of evidence-based medicine and a public health perspective.

Longitudinal Clerkship begins January of Year I running concurrent with Genes to Society. Students spend one afternoon, each week, with a dedicated preceptor in an outpatient setting, and experience didactic or web-based learning of common outpatient topics.

Translational Intersessions occur six times during Genes to Society, and during the clinical years enabling students to revisit basic science topics applicable to the previous clinical clerkship. Translational Intersessions  in Years I and II provide week-long opportunities for students to break away from organ-based classwork and focus on advanced clinical skills, simulation experiences, and areas of interest.

Transition to Wards is a six-week course that includes integrative problem-based learning modules to consolidate and reinforce lessons of the first two years, as well as introduce students to specific content in preparation for the Basic Clinical Clerkships. Content includes ECGs, radiographs, clinical pathology, safety, pharmacy, information systems, and community resources.

Basic Clinical Clerkships begin Spring of Year II, and provide a more structured cadence affording students exposure to all core clerkships before Year IV, while maintaining student flexibility and choice.

• Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics/Gynecology Clerkships are seven weeks, preceded by one-week of integrated clerkship and followed by one-week of basic science intersession.

• Neurology, Psychiatry, and Emergency Medicine Clerkships are four weeks.

Advanced Clerkships include a subinternship in Medicine, Surgery or Pediatrics, a chronic care clerkship (e.g. palliative care, rehabilitation, geriatrics), and a physiology-based or  technology-intensive clerkship. 

Students have ample opportunity in Years III and IV to take electives (e.g., Radiology, Urology, Orthopaedics, etc.).

Department of Ophthalmology

Needs preceptors for its:

• Basic Clerkship teaches and allows small groups of students practice ophthalmology clinical examination skills and perform supervised examinations of standardized patients with ocular pathology. It also teaches individual students to perform supervised clinical examinations, observe surgery, or participate in surgery.
• Elective Clerkship consists of daily out-patient clinic or surgery setting assignments requiring students to perform supervised clinical examinations, observe surgery, or participate in surgery. Students also attend afternoon tutorial sessions.
• Clinical Skills Course consists of an overview lecture followed by small group practical sessions focused on teaching and practicing basic ophthalmology clinical exam skills.
• Pathphysiology Course consists of an introductory lecture followed by small group sessions focused on illustrative patient cases including the presentation and discussion of clinical and histopathologic slides.
• Residency class consists of teaching residents in the clinic, operating room, or Wilmer Emergency Room.
