Medicine for the Greater Good
At the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency, we aim to change all this with didactic and experiential learning that will 1) promote more effective communication with the lay public, 2) enhance physician engagement in communities and support systems, and 3) provide trainees with a rich understanding of the social determinants of health locally and globally. When successful, we will have trained physicians who are not only effective at diagnosing and treating diseases, but will understand their roles and be skilled in promoting health of patients and populations alike.
