I tell everybody who comes here that everything we do is based
on one fundamental belief, that medicine is a public trust.
>> Respiratory rate, 19 satting 90% at room air.
>> Medicine is not about doctors or nurses.
It's about the people, the families, and
the communities we serve.
>> These two people are the decision makers.
Together they have to come to an agreement, but-
>> And
that informs everything that we do here.
>> If you come to the Bayview internal medicine program,
you're gonna learn to be a great doctor.
You're gonna learn the science of medicine and
how to apply it to patient care.
>> Sir, can I just jump in here?
So, once the digoxin came on board and his rates slowed down,
his pressure went up obviously, and when we-
>> As residents,
we have the privilege and
huge responsibility of taking care of some very ill people.
I chose this program because of the quality in the primary care
training program.
Some of the founders for outpatient primary care, Dr.
Burton and Dr. Ziev, and others were based here on this campus.
So to be able to interact with those individuals and
to gain tremendous knowledge from them,
was a huge drawing card for me to come to this program.
>> I did not want to be resident 1 out of 150.
I wanted to be someone unique and someone that all
the program directors knew and had a relationship with,
versus being a resident lost in the sea of a lot of people.
>> I really realized that everything that I could think of
or dream of was possible here.
He actually has gone off of insulin.
>> My first week here, I had one of my advisers and
mentors email me and introduce herself.
And she actually plugged me into some really,
really powerful people on campus.
I'm able to actually apply for fellowship, and
be able to do amazing research here.
>> You're back on 25 milligrams, how often?
>> Three times a day.
>> One of the things this program has been known for
is the Aliki initiative, which was designed to be an inpatient
experience, a curriculum where the residents get to
know patients really pretty intimately.
And get to know about how they live their lives,
use that information then to deliver better,
more practical treatment plans.
>> Doing things like doing home visits after people
are discharged from the hospital.
Spending a lot of time going over medicine reconciliation.
>> I took my pressure meds and I waited about half an hour.
>> And I think that that has spread from just not the Aliki
service, which is an inpatient wards team that does all areas
of the hospital, from the ICU to the outpatient clinics.
>> This is a program that provides,
not only a slogan knowing your patient is a person, but
provides a structure and gives residents the gift of time.
>> The sort of resident who comes here is the type of person
who really likes to roll up their sleeves and
get into to the thick of it and make a difference.
And so they've started many programs while they're here.
>> Or their values that they've expressed in a document.
And that's the purpose of having an advanced directive.
>> Medicine for
the greater good was actually an idea, a brilliant idea
that was brought to us by one of the residents.
>> Where our residents engage in activities that help them
reach beyond the traditional internal medicine training,
>> I've been working on
a variety of projects that affect the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender communities in around Baltimore,
and then also on a national scale.
>> We have so many residents that are doing such great
things, from lobbying on Capitol Hill,
starting hospitals in Haiti.
I do something called Lay Health Educators,
where we take community members and we bring them here for
about ten weeks each year.
And we have our residents volunteer to do lectures for
them about common health ailments that they can be able
to share with their communities when they leave here.
>> We want our residents to learn.
We want them to enjoy learning, to have fun learning.
And our goal is to make them fantastic
physicians who take care of patients and
who put each and every patient as the top priority.
>> If she's only paying 25% that's still $175.
>> And I think most residents are looking for
a training program, where they feel like they fit in, where
they're gonna thrive, where they can be their best doctor self.
And although they'll have a wide range of interests that they're
pursuing, they really want to be at a place where they're
stimulated and challenged, but yet supported and
enjoy their training at the same time.
I think that's something that we do very well here.

>> One of the great things about Johns Hopkins and
about the baby residency program that people may not
be thinking about, is Baltimore and Baltimore City.
Because we have a very diverse patient population, and
community here in Baltimore that is fantastic for
practicing medicine and fantastic for living.
>> My Baltimore is a jog around Sherwood Gardens.
>> My Baltimore is the kale, the cookies, and the peaches
at the farmer's market under the bridge on Sundays.
>> My Baltimore are the great public schools
that my kids go to.
>> My Baltimore is salsa dancing at Solara in East Harbor.
>> My Baltimore is the BMA, and the Cone sisters, and
they're absolutely amazing collection of impressionist art.
>> My Baltimore is a dirty horchata,
a horchata with a shot of espresso at City Cafe in
Mount Vernon with my husband on a Sunday.

>> When you're here at Johns Hopkins Bayview, you're not only
working shoulder to shoulder with Johns Hopkins faculty, but
Johns Hopkins best.
