The Johns Hopkins Hospital, founded in 1889 in Baltimore, is not only
a leading teaching and research hospital, but it is also central to
the history and development of American medical education. William
Osler, one of the hospital’s founding physicians, invented the idea
of medical residency, taking students out of the lecture halls and
onto the wards to examine patients. Today Johns Hopkins has 1,162
beds and more than 2,400 full-time attending physicians. Among other
firsts, Johns Hopkins was the first hospital in the U.S. to perform
male-to-female sex-reassignment surgery. HopkinsMedicine.orgTHE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL
