Issue No. 74 | July 2018
Update from the Dean

We are just about halfway through the summer and getting ready to welcome our newest members of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine community. With more than 33,000 alumni throughout our 125 year-history, you are a valuable member of our community and a key part of our legacy.  At Reunion & Alumni Weekend in June, it was a delight to see so many faces as we celebrated our School's traditions and innovations.
 
Going forward, I will share recent news and updates from the School of Medicine each quarter to keep you updated. From news, events, activities, accolades, research and more, I invite you to learn more about what has been taking place at the School recently. 

What Was Your Most Memorable Moment?

At last month's reunion, we asked returning alumni and friends to share their most memorable moments of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as part of our 125th celebration. Find out what they had to say in this video. Want to commemorate the anniversary? Host an Experience 125 event! 
Medical Education Around the World 

How are future physicians trained in Guatemala, Turkey or China? In the Biomedical Odyssey blog, recent M.D./M.P.H. graduate Rebecca DiBiase discusses the challenges of implementing educational innovations in three very different countries. 
Gerald Hart Announces His Retirement

An interviewer once asked Gerald Hart about his hobbies. Jerry replied that research is his hobby and his job-he could not think of anything he would rather do. This profound love of science has been a driving force in Jerry's life, generating a remarkable scientific legacy and infecting those around him with a similar passion for discovery. Now, after 39 years as a member of our faculty and 41 years since arriving at Johns Hopkins as a postdoctoral fellow, Gerald Hart, Ph.D., has announced that he will retire in October.
