Fellows have access to master’s degrees in public health or health sciences informatics. At this time, we do not offer degrees in education or business.

Physician fellows have, on average, two half-day clinic sessions per week. There is no inpatient clinical responsibility. Fellows are welcome to moonlight on their own time as allowed by GME office policies.

Fellows are compensated based on Johns Hopkins University stipend levels (based on level and type of training), which exceed the National Institutes of Health stipend guidelines. Fellows receive medical and dental benefits, generous vacation, and paid holidays. Other benefits range by fellow role.

Fellows can apply for loan repayment programs from the NIH. These programs repay up to $50,000 annually of a researcher’s qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.

Please see application process

Acceptance decisions are made on a rolling basis. Please contact [email protected] with questions related to your specific timeline.

The majority of our fellows go on to positions in academia, research- or policy-related organizations, and state and federal agencies. However, fellows with interests in a broad range of careers that improve child and family health and health equity are welcome and encouraged.

We are happy to answer questions or discuss the program. Please reach out to Program Director Dr. Sara Johnson at [email protected] or Medical Training Program Administrator Lynette Forrest at [email protected].
