JOHNS HOPKINS ALL CHILDREN'S has a robust staff of
experienced clinicians, so the hospital doesn't have to rely on
residents to deliver timely patient care. is enabled the hospital to
plan from the beginning to challenge traditional residency models.
"ere was an understanding among Johns Hopkins All
Children's and Johns Hopkins Medicine leadership that we had
a unique opportunity to change how residents are trained," says
Raquel Hernandez, M.D., M.P.H., FAAP, director of medical
education and pediatric residency program director at Johns
Hopkins All Children's, and assistant professor of pediatrics at
the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "Residents are
often seen as the workhorses of an institution. We have the clinical
resources necessary to make education the central focus of our
residents' experience."
e result is an innovative residency program centered on
research, clinical care and leadership.
"What makes our program special is that it's education-driven
rather than service-driven," says Jacquelyn Crews, M.D.,
