Graduating from the Hopkins CCM residency was the most impactful and important step I have taken throughout my career in critical care medicine — the depth and breadth of training it offered continues to shape the nature of my work every day, and it provided opportunities for growth I never would have had with any amount of ‘on the job’ training elsewhere. Even 10 years later, it’s the best decision I’ve made as a PA and as a critical care clinician.

The Johns Hopkins Critical Care PA Residency was transformative for my career. It provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and technical skills, enabling me to excel in high-acuity environments like the CVICU at Stanford. Beyond clinical competence, the program instilled a sense of confidence in my decision-making and the ability to collaborate effectively with a diverse team of providers. Most importantly, it emphasized the art of medicine — balancing evidence-based practice with individualized patient care.
