>> I'm Rick Bennett,
the president of Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center,
where we're reflecting upon the 125-year history
of the Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine.
Today we're going to tell you about some of
the unique things that have happened on our campus
with this long partnership.
When the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine opened in 1893,
most medical schools around the country were really
little more than trade schools.
There were very few qualifications that you needed to get in
In fact, it was really harder
to get into many of the best colleges.
With the opening of Johns Hopkins,
there really was a transformation
in the way we trained physicians in the United States.
One of the unique things about Johns Hopkins Bayview
is that all of our physicians are faculty
of the School of Medicine.
We train future leaders in healthcare,
and we create new knowledge to improve human health.
In this video, we're going to relate
how we take care of patients,
how we educate future healthcare leaders,
and how we create new knowledge to improve human health.

>> When I arrived here in 1965,
it was the Baltimore City Hospital,
a sprawling campus with 1700 beds, mostly serving the poor.
We had all open wards, 30 to 40 people per ward,
a male unit and a female unit.
It was a great institution serving an enormous need,
staffed by people who were here for altruistic reasons.
The future of medicine really
is gonna be all about team caring.
This institution, with its incredible history,
is on the leading edge of that,
and not only in this area but in the country.
Our program for all-inclusive care of the elderly,
Hopkins Elder Plus, is a service for the patients
that otherwise would be in nursing homes,
but are able to stay home because of team care.
That involves every aspect, from drivers of the vehicles
that pick patients up to come to daycare,
to nurses, to the therapists, to pharmacists,
all working together to provide the best care possible.

>> We have Dr. William Osler to thank
for the way we take care of patients here at Johns Hopkins.
Osler was the first chairman of the Department of Medicine
here at the turn of the 20th Century,
and William Osler made the famous observation
that it's much more important to know
the person who has an illness than to know the illness
that happens to affect the person.
At Johns Hopkins Bayview, we are intent on imbuing,
in every doctor, student attending, who's on this campus
the critical importance of knowing the patient as a person.
At Johns Hopkins Bayview we have 200 Residents and Fellows
on any one day, working and learning medicine here,
and over 100 medical students throughout the year.
In order to provide the best care,
you have to know someone's goals, hopes, aspirations, fears,
and impediments to treatment.
The Aliki Initiative helps each person learn
how to gather that information.
In 2016, we extended the Aliki Initiative to include nurses,
and the attending nurse, along with the attending physician,
worked together to get to know the patient well,
and to coordinate the care of the whole team.
(pleasant piano music)
>> We are incredibly proud of the research that happens
at the Johns Hopkins Bayview campus.
In 2017, researchers were awarded
$105 million for research grants,
both in the neighborhood and around the world.
A major portion of our 130-acre campus is dedicated to
research that actually advances the science
and the promise of medicine.
That includes the National Institutes of Health,
Biomedical Research Center,
which is dedicated to research on aging.
Johns Hopkins Bayview physicians perform research
in a variety of areas, and these include
addiction, asthma, allergy, COPD, obesity,
stroke and neurological disorders, burn and wound care,
and even lung cancer.
Research findings on this campus
are changing the way we care for patients.
[Richard Bennett] - We're proud of our history here
on the Johns Hopkins Bayview campus,
and our partnering with the School of Medicine
over so many decades.
We're even more excited about the future before us.
Happy 125th Anniversary,
to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
>> Happy Anniversary.
>> Happy Anniversary, School of Medicine.
>> Happy Anniversary, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
