Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine Medical Education Pathway
The Medical Education Pathway is a structured curriculum available currently to resident physicians from the Johns Hopkins Osler Internal Medicine Residency, Bayview Internal Medicine Residency, and the Medicine-Pediatrics Urban Health Residency Programs. In 2019, a discussion with learners in the Osler and Bayview internal medicine residency programs identified a need for a formative curriculum for residents interested in medical education careers. There were resident learners with interest in understanding core medical education concepts, developing medical education skills, and seeking guidance on medical education career development. The founding co-directors utilized feedback from residents, review of relevant medical education literature, and analysis of similar interventions at other institutions to develop the Johns Hopkins Medical Education Pathway curriculum.

Johns Hopkins University Health and Education (JHU HEAT) Corps
The JHU HEAT Corps was founded in 2020, months into the COVID-19 pandemic. JH COVID-19 Anchor Strategy Workgroup’s community meetings with Johns Hopkins personnel and faculty brought attention to the scholastic community efforts of Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos from the School of Medicine. Dr. Galiatsatos was collaborating with local partnering schools in the spring of 2020 to share information on COVID-19, alleviating the educational burden teachers faced in order to inform their students during difficult times. Ms. Wilson pulled Dr. Galiatsatos into a collaboration with other leadership at Johns Hopkins: Dr. Vanya Jones from the Bloomberg School of Public Health, Dr. Catherine Ling from the School of Nursing, Dr. Annette Anderson from the School of Education, Audrey Johnson from the JHU Office of Economic Development, and Director Mindi Levin from SOURCE, the community engagement and service-learning center for the JHU health professional schools. Together they created an educational curriculum with the appropriate pedagogy to be taught in schools about COVID-19. In addition, they created a training program to prepare JHU students and faculty to teach the COVID-19 curriculum to schools.

INNOVATION
CLOSLER - This is a program that came out of the Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence (MCACE) in hopes of educating healthcare professionals to move CLOSer to OsLER. The mission of CLOSLER is to “stimulate healthcare professionals and trainees to reflect on giving exceptional care to every patient.” There was no other publication that had a focus on assembling and disseminating pearls and perspectives related to clinical excellence.
3-Act Model Curriculum
The Johns Hopkins Bayview Palliative Care (JHBMC) team created a narrative approach to goals of care (GOC) discussions, the 3-Act Model, which emphasizes understanding the patient as a person in the context of their life story. Since 2018, the team has integrated 3-Act Model training in the JHBMC Medicine residency curriculum, publishing a series of papers demonstrating objective improvement in skills and behavior. As of 2020, the 3-Act Model has been sustainably integrated in 4 JH training programs’ curricula, reaching many trainees every year.
2021
Health Humanities at Hopkins Emergency Medicine (H3EM)
Housed in the Department of Emergency Medicine (EM), this highly impactful, innovative, and interdisciplinary educational initiative was implemented in 2018. This initiative addresses a pressing need in medical education at large and graduate medical education (GME) in particular, both at our institution and nationally. Both the American Association of Medical Colleges and the National Academy for Sciences Engineering and Medicine have deemed the humanities to be fundamental to medical training, yet there are limited initiatives in the humanities in GME. H3EM harnesses the health humanities, an interdisciplinary field that blends arts and humanities with a commitment to social justice, to provide practitioners of EM with the tools to understand and address the human experiences of health and illness and to serve the Hopkins and Baltimore communities by improving the delivery of patient-centered care built upon cultural humility, inclusivity, and equity.

GIMboree
We are excited to present the IEE Education Program Award to GIMboree. GIMboree is a medical education innovation designed to foster community, mentorship and joy within primary care residents and faculty. The program was started in 2018 by Dr. Deborah Freeland and her mentor Dr. Paul O'Rourke and has been a success from the start. GIMboree sessions have been held monthly and involve dinner, literature review and most importantly reflecting on clinic experiences. Participants have also noted that discussion of faculty members’ career paths has been a highlight of these gatherings as it allows the residents to have improved insight of the individual. GIMboree has been presented at local meetings and was the recipient of a competitive ACGME medical innovation award. Congratulations to all involved in the success of GIMboree!
