Office of Medical Student Diversity

The Office of Medical Student Diversity reflects the Johns Hopkins Medicine Mission, to improve the health of the community and the world by setting the standard of excellence in medical education, research and clinical care.  Diverse and inclusive, Johns Hopkins Medicine educates medical students, scientists, health care professionals and the public; conducts biomedical research; and provides patient-centered medicine to prevent, diagnose and treat human illness while embracing our core values:

  • Excellence & Discovery
  • Leadership & Integrity
  • Diversity & Inclusion
  • Respect & Collegiality

Inclusion is in our DNA | Johns Hopkins Founding Letter

Nearly a century and a half ago, our founder, Mr. Johns Hopkins, wrote a letter in which he established his vision for and values of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Those values – respect, dignity, integrity, inclusion, excellence, and diversity – have withstood the test of time and still ring true today. They continue to provide us with inspiration and direction. We are Johns Hopkins Medicine. We must continue to remain committed to our founding values and stand together to support each other.
