Why I Chose Johns Hopkins:
I chose Hopkins because of the incredible residents and faculty I met on my interview day - it truly seemed like a family. I was also inspired by the commitment the program has to the larger community of Baltimore. I knew that training at Hopkins would allow me to grow into the kind of physician, advocate, researcher, and teacher I aspire to be.

Lucy Brown, M.D., M.P.H.
Medical School: Indiana University School of Medicine
Why I Chose Johns Hopkins:
When I made my list of residency priorities, advocacy and community engagement were at the top. It is clear that Johns Hopkins has a strong foundation in advocacy. They send residents to the ACOG conference each year and lobby at the state house for equitable healthcare. Additionally, Hopkins prioritizes repairing relationships with the Baltimore community. Anyone employed at Hopkins has access to full college tuition anywhere, and they create pipelines for people to propel themselves forward. This resonated with my values of real community investment and was unique to Hopkins.
Finally, the doctors who train at Johns Hopkins are leaders and change-makers. They’re behind the scenes talking to legislators, they’re oral board examiners, they’re innovators, etc. I was floored by the opportunities to make a difference in medicine, and I am excited to join this incredible group of compassionate physician leaders.

Laura Fuhr, M.D.
Medical School: University of Virginia School of Medicine
Why I Chose Johns Hopkins:
I chose Hopkins because the mission of the department and the residency program of cultivating leaders - particularly in the areas of equity, advocacy, surgical training, and research - resonated with me and my own priorities for training. I know that no matter how my interests and career goals evolve throughout residency, I will find support and mentorship from renowned faculty in every niche within OB/GYN. And of course, the residents are close-knit, supportive, and fun, and they love living in and serving the Baltimore community!

I knew that at Hopkins I would be surrounded by phenomenal attendings, co-residents, and mentors that would push me to become the best physician and advocate for my patients.

Secondly, after speaking with Hopkins residents, faculty, and alumni, it became clear that I would be joining an incredibly inspiring community that embodies humility, service, and a deep commitment to providing compassionate and equitable care to patients, both locally in Baltimore and beyond. Finally, the chance to return to Baltimore as an OB/GYN and serve the community that holds a special place in my heart is an opportunity I am truly honored to embrace!

I was searching for a program that would challenge me clinically and surgically, provide impactful research opportunities, and allow ethical global health work to remain a core aspect of my training. I am excited to join a network of supportive and inspiring faculty and co-residents as I embark on the start of my career!

Ryan A. King, M.D., M.P.H.
Medical School: Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University
Why I Chose Johns Hopkins:
Even though the residency application and interview process feels like random dart throwing at times, Hopkins stood out above the rest, emphasizing a community-focused mission that compliments the academic, surgical, advocacy, and research excellence that attracts applicants from across the country. With a background in rural life, medicine, and public health, I searched for a program that values engagement and listening to the needs of their community, honesty in shortcomings, and an earnest desire for improvement in training and resident well-being. I believe I’ve found those things here, and I’m so excited to learn from the patients and greater community of Baltimore in addition to the mentors and colleagues of this amazing program!

Why I Chose Johns Hopkins:

I also choose Baltimore as a city that reflects the diversity of the country and has a long history of medical innovation and community engagement.

Emily Stock, M.D.
Medical School: University of Minnesota Medical School
Why I Chose Johns Hopkins:
I chose Johns Hopkins because I am in awe at the program’s longstanding commitment to excellence, the unparalleled clinical and surgical training, the complex, diverse patient population of Baltimore, the ample research opportunities, the strong mentorship, and the ability to train alongside and collaborate with leaders in the field. During my interview conversations, it was clear how dedicated the program’s faculty are to the success of residents and the program’s commitment to resident education, advocacy, and community engagement. I am confident Hopkins will enable me to thrive both personally and professionally as I train to become a phenomenal surgeon and hopeful future gynecologic oncologist, and I am honored to join the Hopkins’ family, training alongside inspiring co-residents, dedicated faculty, and program leadership who are committed to developing well-rounded physician leaders and educators who advocate for and provide the highest quality of care to patients.
