Anthony Fauci, world-renowned scientist and longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is slated as the featured speaker at the School of Medicine Convocation Ceremony on May 22, where some 115 medical students are expected to earn degrees. Widely known for his research in HIV/AIDS, Fauci made seminal discoveries that led to the development of effective treatment for several previously incurable rheumatologic conditions. He has led NIAID since 1984 and is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Science, and many other awards.
A Milestone in Pediatric Urology
A few decades ago, babies born with cloacal exstrophy (one of the most severe birth defects compatible with life) did not survive.

At a time when most Internet users search for health information online, hopkinsmedicine.org has become the fourth most visited of all hospital or academic medical center websites, with about 37 million views each year, according to Aaron Watkins, director of e-strategy and Web services for Johns Hopkins Medicine.
The JHM Health Library (www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary) is responsible for nearly a third of that traffic. The site, continually updated with fresh content, includes an A-Z directory of health topics, including diseases, treatments, tests, and procedures and links to relevant research, nutritious recipes, and screening guidelines.
