John Hopkins Hospital
John Hopkins Hospital opened in 1889, followed four years later, in 1893 by The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Moving from laboratory to lecture hall to the patient’s bedside, students and interns brought the scientific approach to medicine and received first-hand training in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The “Hopkins experiment” changed the pattern of medical education in the United States and had a tremendous, positive impact on patient care. Hopkins was the birthplace of many medical specialties, including pediatrics, endocrinology, neurosurgery and urology.
The Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Johns Hopkins is a strong academic department with numerous formal and informal relationships with preeminent faculty in other disciplines. It provides a full complement of specialties, including an expanded spine service, orthopedic oncology, sports medicine, foot and ankle surgery, adult reconstructive surgery, trauma, pediatrics and hand surgery. Although Hopkins draws patients and scholars from all over the globe, the Medical Institutions remain firmly committed to serving the health needs of Baltimore and the state of Maryland.
