Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Medical school in Baltimore, United States
The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine sits on a research campus next to the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Children's Center in East Baltimore. The campus includes teaching buildings, research laboratories, and a medical library directly connected to the clinical facilities.
The institution opened its doors in 1893 after Mary Elizabeth Garrett led a fundraising campaign. Three women were part of the first student group, which was extraordinary for medical education at that time.
The four colleges bear the names of pioneers like Florence Sabin and Vivien Thomas who made history here. Students meet regularly in these smaller groups with mentors and share experiences from daily clinical work.
Visitors should be aware that this is an active training facility where students and medical staff work daily. Public areas are typically accessible during weekday business hours, with security checks at entrances being common.
Starting in Fall 2024, a one billion dollar gift from Michael Bloomberg covers all tuition for families earning under $300,000 annually. This arrangement allows students to focus entirely on their training without financial burden.
