Background

Dr. Barry Solomon is a Professor of Pediatrics and Chief of the Division of General Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He serves as Assistant Dean for Medical Student Affairs and he holds the Catherine DeAngelis, M.D. and Jackie Julio Endowed Chair of Pediatrics.  

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, he completed a residency at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and a fellowship in general academic pediatrics at Johns Hopkins. He holds an M.P.H. from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Dr. Solomon's scholarly interests have been focused on preventing childhood injury and addressing the social determinants of health through innovations in pediatrics primary care.  He holds a joint appointment in the Department of Health, Behavior, and Society in the Bloomberg School of Public Health where he conducts research with faculty in the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (jhu.edu). He is currently Co-PI on a NIMHD funded Safe Start study, a randomized trial to evaluate the impact of a new EMR-based infant sleep assessment tool and brief communication training on a) the delivery of pediatric anticipatory guidance and b) parents' safe sleep knowledge, beliefs, reported practices, and observed sleep environments.

For 14 years, Dr. Solomon served as medical director for the Harriet Lane Clinic, a large academic-based pediatric primary care clinic serving children and families in East Baltimore. In collaboration with institutional and community partners, supported by philanthropic organizations, Dr. Solomon brought an array of wrap-around services to the clinic including a social needs navigation program to connect families with community resources (Hopkins Community Connections, formerly Health Leads©).

Dr. Solomon is also an active clinical teacher and research mentor to medical students, residents, fellows and junior faculty interested in addressing the social determinants of health.  He previously served as a Taussig College Faculty Co-Leader in the Colleges Advisory Program in the School of Medicine and associate director of the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Residency Program.
