Program Description: Johns Hopkins Medicine is proud to introduce an innovative combined internal medicine and pediatrics residency program (MP) designed to train primary care physicians in an urban inner-city environment. The dual MP certification will prepare our graduates to care comprehensively for patients of all ages throughout the entire life cycle while the expanded curriculum will address the health needs and problems prevalent in urban settings such as psychiatric illness, urban violence, substance abuse issues, HIV, and health disparities. At the East Baltimore Medical Center (EBMC), which will house the new MP outpatient clinic, residents will learn from MP-trained physicians and co-train with nurse practitioner students. The urban health residency will utilize Hopkins’ and Baltimore’s vast resources including the Schools of Nursing and Public Health; the Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute; the Baltimore City Health Department; Johns Hopkins’ Harriet Lane Clinic; the prisons; and Chase Brexton, a federally qualified health center. The program, which will be fully integrated into Hopkins’ categorical pediatrics and internal medicine residencies, will produce physicians who are board-eligible as both internists and pediatricians after the first four years of training. During their fifth and sixth years of the program, Johns Hopkins will provide each trainee with the opportunity to earn a master’s degree, fully subsidized by Johns Hopkins Medicine. The master’s degree in public health (MPH), business administration (MBA), or education will emphasize urban health issues and will be obtained while the recent graduates work as part-time attending physicians at either EBMC or Baltimore Medical Systems (BMS) clinics. While working at EBMC or BMS, the graduates will be eligible for loan repayment of $25,000-$50,000. The goal of the MP Urban Health Residency Training Program is to create primary care leaders who can effectively care for Baltimore City patients and families of all ages through collaboration with other health care professionals. As has been true of the Johns Hopkins Hospital housestaff training programs, we anticipate that these physicians will become the future leaders of urban primary care on a local, state, and national level. We are recruiting 4 residents to be part of our inaugural class beginning July 1, 2010. Applications should be submitted through ERAS. We will be listed in ERAS by September 15, 2009. Our website (www.hopkinsmedicine.org/medpeds) will be available by September 1, 2009. Please email or call us with additional questions.

Musings of a Distractible Mind "Reading this blog you may get the impression that I can’t make up my mind if I am serious or silly. Yet I think we all need a portion of both in our lives. I do my best to keep the balance and hope you enjoy the experience."
Stories in Medicine I am a physician practicing Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. This blog chronicles my life first as a medical student, then as a resident. It is about stories of medicine. If you think 'Scrubs' or 'Grey's Anatomy' tells the stories of a resident's life, then here is what it is really like (for one resident, anyway).
