Salem Hernandez, MD, Barker Firm

Salem grew up on the small beach town of South Padre Island, Texas [recommend Googling] along the Texas-Mexico border. He attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine where he focused on Chemistry and English. He served as an Assistant Dean of Admission at Connecticut College in New London, Connecticut prior to completing his medical degree at the University of Connecticut. Salem then joined the Osler Medical Residency as a member of the Longcope firm with a focus on medical education. This past year Salem completed his first year of pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Yale. He is interested in a career as a stalwart intensivist, interventionalist, and medical educator. His research and clinical interests include improving ICU outcomes, advancing ICU procedural education, and palliative care measures in critical illness. Outside of the hospital, Salem will be working on his Baltimore bucket list including finally attending a Baltimore Ravens game and learning more about the life of Edgar Allen Poe.

Gloria Hong, MD, Janeway Firm

Gloria grew up in South Korea and Amherst, Massachusetts. She completed her undergraduate studies at Columbia University and received her medical degree from Johns Hopkins. During medical school, she spent a year at the National Institutes of Health studying adult-onset immunodeficiency syndrome through the Medical Research Scholars Program. After graduating from the Osler Medical Residency, she completed her first year of cardiology fellowship at Johns Hopkins prior to her ACS year. Her clinical and research interests include advanced heart failure, inflammatory cardiomyopathies, and cardiovascular sequelae of COVID-19. She is excited to return to the Osler Medical Residency to work with and mentor the exceptional Osler Housestaff. Outside of the hospital, she enjoys walking along the waterfront, listening to podcasts, hiking, and traveling.

Elizabeth Kiernan, MD, Longcope Firm

Liz grew up in southern Rhode Island (which she will tell you is wicked pretty) and later moved to Pennsylvania for her undergraduate degree. She attended medical school at Temple University in North Philadelphia and took a year off to conduct research in melanoma genetics at The University of Pennsylvania.  She came to Baltimore for residency as a categorical internal medicine resident, where she developed a special interest in nephrology. Prior to becoming an ACS, she moved to the pacific northwest and the University of Washington, where she is a clinical research fellow in nephrology. She is eager to return to Johns Hopkins to care for patients in East Baltimore and to spend a year of intensive education and growth alongside the Longcope Firm. When outside the hospital, she enjoys soccer, roaming along the waterfront, and as time allows, taking trips to the mountains to enjoy the sun and snow.

Michael Rose, MD, MPH, Thayer Firm

Mike grew up in a small town called Lynchburg, North Dakota (population 10!) before attending nearby Concordia College of Moorhead, MN for undergraduate. He went to medical school at the University of Minnesota and public health school at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health where he received his master's in public health focusing on health policy. He graduated from the urban health internal medicine and pediatrics combined residency and has special interests in addiction medicine and HIV medicine. He spent the year prior to being ACS working as a med-peds hospitalist at Hopkins as well as attending on the addiction medicine consult service. He plans to remain a generalist throughout his year, ideally caring for both adults and children with special focus on HIV and substance use disorders. He is most excited about the opportunity to teach and learn side by side with the Thayer interns and residents as ACS and his role organizing noon conference for the residency. When he's not at the hospital he loves to attend Orioles games at Camden Yards, go for walks along the waterfront or through Patterson Park, and to get out of the city either hiking around Maryland or venturing home to spend time hunting and fishing with his family and friends (especially his dad) back in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Michelle York, MD, Ambulatory ACS

Michelle grew up in Chapel Hill, NC. She attended Emory University for undergraduate studies and Vanderbilt University for medical school (proud Batson college alum). Prior to ACS year, she completed internal medicine residency here at Hopkins as a member of the Urban Health Primary Care Track and Longcope firm. Clinically, she loves general medicine in both the outpatient and inpatient settings, with a particular interest in health equity and accessibility, primary and reproductive care, and care for trans and nonbinary folks. She loves medical education (Med Ed Pathway alum!) and is thrilled to have the opportunity as ambulatory ACS to continue building our ambulatory educational curriculum. She feels so lucky to have the chance to work with each of the Osler residents in clinic. When she's not in the hospital, you can find her out on a Harbor walk or at Bark Social with her husband (Jake) and dog/fur baby (Earl), trying new restaurants around town, hosting roof top gatherings and game nights, or visiting family/friends.
