Dear Colleagues and Friends,

As the interim director of the Division of General Internal Medicine (GIM) at Johns Hopkins, I am excited to share our vision and commitment to excellence in patient care, education, and research.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality of care in a compassionate and patient-centered environment. We pride ourselves on our dedication to clinical excellence and our innovative approach to tackling complex health challenges. Our diverse team of clinicians, researchers, and educators works collaboratively to advance the field of internal medicine and improve the health of our communities.

We are also committed to training the next generation of physicians and leaders in medicine, fostering an environment of inquiry and discovery. Our educational programs empower residents and fellows to develop the skills necessary to become not only exceptional clinicians but also advocates for their patients and communities.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our work and the people behind it. Whether you are a prospective fellow, a collaborator, a patient seeking care, or something else entirely, we welcome your engagement and support.

Looking ahead, we will continue to embrace research-driven approaches to enhance our understanding of patient needs while striving for solutions that improve health outcomes. Our focus on multidisciplinary collaboration ensures we remain at the forefront of internal medicine, shaping the future of health care.

Thank you for being part of the GIM community. We look forward to a future of innovation, growth, and impact.

Warm Regards,
