Dear Med-Peds Applicant

Dear Colleague:

Thank you for inquiring about training in the Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Urban Health Residency Program at Johns Hopkins.

Johns Hopkins Medicine is proud to introduce an innovative combined internal medicine and pediatrics residency program (MP) designed to train primary care physicians in an urban inner-city environment.  The dual MP certification will prepare our graduates to care comprehensively for patients of all ages throughout the entire life cycle while the expanded curriculum will address the health needs and problems prevalent in urban settings such as psychiatric illness, urban violence, substance abuse issues, HIV, and health disparities.

The goal of the MP Urban Health Residency Training Program is to create primary care leaders who can effectively care for Baltimore City patients and families of all ages. As has been true of the Johns Hopkins Hospital housestaff training programs, we anticipate that these physicians will become the future leaders of urban primary care on a local, state, and national level.

We are recruiting 4 stellar and pioneering residents to be part of our inaugural class beginning July 1, 2010. Applications should be submitted through ERAS.

This will be a great adventure. Applicants must be willing to help build the program with us. We look forward to meeting you!
