The Department of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is committed to the progress of biomedical discovery, teaching the next generation of doctors and scientists, and the improvement of health in our neighborhood and around the globe.

We are steadfast in our commitment to the scientific investigation that has the power to shape and improve not only our community, but societies all over the world. As America’s first research university, Johns Hopkins has a long history of pioneering discovery, advancing knowledge across disciplines, and shaping the future through innovation and academic excellence, and the Department of Medicine has been a driving force behind JHU’s biomedical innovations from the very beginning. We know that without a strong foundation of research, we lose the scientific breakthroughs and potential lifesaving treatments of tomorrow. I believe there are many potential ways we, the Department of Medicine faculty, staff, and trainees, can make a difference to our community, our patients, and to one another.

We are people serving people, to promote health and alleviate suffering locally and globally. This is our mission statement, which was established in 2015 and is equally true today. We aim to improve our environment, build a stronger culture of respect, and become better change agents to improve our surrounding community. We support this mission through initiatives designed to enhance the well-being of our faculty, staff, and trainees—empowering them to focus on the vital work that drives progress. We know that people are our greatest resource, and anything we can do to help them will, in turn, uplift the communities we serve and reduce barriers to health and wellness. By learning and growing together, we become stronger, more resilient advocates for the health of our communities.

Our department is made up of an amazing group of people who together provide cutting-edge patient care, maintain some of the country’s top internal medicine training programs, and conduct groundbreaking research. The Department of Medicine is a large and complex organization, with more than 650 full-time faculty members across 18 academic divisions and over 3,000 staff members. Last year, we provided care for over 390,000 clinic visits and discharged more than 25,000 patients from The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Our reach extends beyond these two hospitals, with clinical locations across the Baltimore-Washington metro area. The department also maintains a substantial annual research portfolio of over $200 million per annum making discoveries that change lives. 

I am honored to serve as the director of this outstanding department. If you have questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Nadia N. Hansel, M.D., M.P.H.
