New Physician-Scientist Training Program Supports Research with Clinical Care
The School of Medicine created the new Physician-Scientist Training Program to nurture careers that combine investigation with patient care.
"I'm a better maternal-fetal medicine clinician because of my lab work, and I'm a better researcher because I understand what's at stake," said A. Jason Vaught, M.D.(Maternal & Fetal Medicine Fellow '16).
The 34-year-old high-risk obstetrician and critical care doctor splits his time between the clinic and his mentor Robert Brodsky's hematology lab, where he studies hellp syndrome. Read more
Medical students gather below "The Four Doctors," who are all featured in a new video series.
Hopkins Legends In The Spotlight
'The Four Doctors' Inspire Video Project
When Jessica Ruck arrived at Johns Hopkins as a medical student in 2013, she couldn't name the quartet of Johns Hopkins' founding physicians depicted in John Singer Sargent's iconic 1906 painting, "The Four Doctors"-pathologist William Welch, surgeon William Halsted, internist William Osler or gynecologist Howard Kelly.
Many of her classmates couldn't either.
Supported in part by the Johns Hopkins Medical and Surgical Association, Ruck embarked on a two-year history project that has produced seven videos, ranging in length from six to 12 minutes.
In addition to celebrating Welch, Halsted, Osler and Kelly, the videos document the exceptional efforts of Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Vivian Thomas, and John Shaw Billings. Watch| Learn More
