Johns Hopkins Medicine is the academic medical enterprise of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, combining the School of Medicine, which opened in 1893, with The Johns Hopkins Hospital, which opened in 1889. The university was founded in 1876 as a research university; the East Baltimore medical campus grew as its clinical and graduate-education arm. The School of Medicine helped set the American pattern of laboratory science joined to bedside teaching.

Training runs through the School of Medicine and affiliated institutes, including the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Wilmer Eye Institute, and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Strengths are biomedical science, clinical investigation, and collaboration with the Bloomberg School of Public Health. PhD programs in the biomedical sciences sit alongside the MD and dual MD/PhD tracks.
