About Us

Welcome to the Department of Surgery

Dr. Julie A.  Freischlag,
Chair, Department of Surgery

As the Chair of Surgery at Johns Hopkins, I want to welcome you to our Web site which is our communication link to patients, alumni, medical students, residents and present faculty. We are living in exciting times and we here at Surgery want to lead during these marvelous times.

The Department of Surgery at Johns Hopkins University has a vision and plan that is based on the solid ground that has been established by my predecessors - Halsted, Lewis, Blalock, Zuidema and Cameron.

The Department is known for excellent care of patients and being ranked the number one hospital in the United States, having a strong reputation for teaching medical students, training surgical residents and possessing a core of well-funded and state of the art research activity. Globally, the vision for the Department of Surgery is to maintain its position as the PREMIER place where patients want to receive their care, where surgical faculty want to spend their careers and where medical students feel they learned their most.

We welcome you to the Department of Surgery. We also welcome your comments and participation!

Sincerely,

Julie A. Freischlag, M.D.
