With more than 100 faculty, the Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins is among the very top infectious diseases research institutions in the world. We embrace and thrive in an ecosystem of collaboration, mutual respect and deep enquiry. Every day, we explore the tiniest components of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections, develop and share new knowledge about the human body’s reaction to them, and provide evidence-based guidance that improves health care practices.

As members of the Johns Hopkins medical community, serving patients is in our DNA. We offer exceptional inpatient and outpatient consultative services as well as longitudinal care. Our care providers practice throughout Maryland, including at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Johns Hopkins at Greenspring Station, and in city and county health departments. The John G. Bartlett Specialty Practice located on our East Baltimore campus offers integrated, state-of-the-art outpatient care for HIV, hepatitis, and general infectious diseases. 

One of the division’s most important contributions to medicine is the rigor and legacy of our medical education and training programs, which consistently rank among the top in the nation. Our ID Fellowship Programs offer subspecialty training for board certification and prepare trainees for clinical and academic careers in adult and pediatric infectious diseases, HIV, and in transplant and oncology infectious diseases. JHU ID fellowship alumni have advanced professionally to become internationally recognized leaders in academia, government, the corporate sector, and clinical practice.

As a top academic institution, our division produces leaders in the field, including presidents of medical societies, members of National Academies of Medicine and Science, Howard Hughes Medical Institution investigators, members of Presidential and leading government Advisory Councils, and much more. Whether globally, nationally, or locally, our faculty help define research priorities, develop novel instructional methodologies, contribute to crucial public health policy, and serve as staunch advocates for improved patient care.

A founding principle of health care at Johns Hopkins is the provision of  world-class treatment to every community member, and we live that mission every day. We believe health care is a right, and this is the foundation of the service we provide to patients across our medical system, the research we do to improve the lives of patients globally, and the mentorship experience we offer trainees.
