This Friday, September 29, a conference and tour will be held as part of the first-ever Alumni Takeover Day at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. This event, hosted by the department of medicine’s Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Program, will celebrate and foster intergenerational connections between former and current residents of the 100-year-old program.

There will be a panel discussion moderated by one of our medicine chiefs, and alums from different eras of Johns Hopkins Bayview’s internal medicine residency umbrella will be featured – including Baltimore City Hospitals, Francis Scott Key Medical Center, and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. We anticipate having 30 to 40 residents, 25 alumni and current faculty in attendance.

WHAT: Connecting the Stars: Johns Hopkins Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Alumni Takeover Day

WHERE:

• Medicine Education Center – Johns Hopkins Bayview campus (conference)
• Henrietta Lacks’ Turner Station Home (tour)

WHEN: Friday, September 29, 2023 – 12:15 to 1 p.m. (conference) | 1:30 to 5 p.m. (tour)

WHY: To celebrate residency alumni from six decades (1970s to 2020s), the Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Program will hold its first-ever Alumni Takeover Day.

The conference will feature an alumni panel discussion, planned and moderated by Johns Hopkins Bayview’s chief residents. Panelists spanning the decades will speak about their experiences building their careers and staying true to their values while following different pathways in achieving their goals in medicine.

Panelists also will touch on experiences and challenges known to all physicians, regardless of specialty, tenure or geographic location. The discussion will be relevant for current residents and all alumni, including those who trained at Baltimore City Hospitals and Francis Scott Key Medical Center – before Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center was established.

Following the conference, Dr. Erica Johnson, director of the Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Program, will lead first-year interns and alumni on a tour to visit the Turner Station home of Henrietta Lacks. Lacks’ immortal HeLa cells helped create Polio and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and are still used in the study of medicine today. Dr. Johnson conducts this tour annually to help current residents better appreciate the historical significance of medicine in the Baltimore community, and to help them understand their role at the intersection of medicine and social justice.
