General Information

The School
The academic base of the General Preventive Medicine Residency Program is the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Established in 1916, the School provides graduate education, research, and service in the diverse field of public health.

Resources
The School is physically and administratively an integral part of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, which include The Johns Hopkins Hospital, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, and the Welch Medical Library. The entire university library system is available to all members of the Hopkins community.

A Wired Environment
Personal computers in the School's Computer Center are available to all students, while an extensive wireless networking system throughout the School (including in the Residency Programs Office) provides Internet access from virtually any location via students' own laptops.

Opportunities for Clinical Preventive Medicine
Although no clinical activities are required by the residency, many residents maintain their clinical skills by working in clinics at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Baltimore City Health Department, and elsewhere. The program assists residents, particularly those in the academic year, in identifying moonlighting opportunities that enhance their experience in the practice of public health and preventive medicine.

Housing and Transportation 
Residents may live in the International House apartment complex located near Baltimore's Pennsylvania Railroad Station, in Charles Village near the Johns Hopkins Homewood undergraduate campus, or elsewhere in the Baltimore-Washington area. The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions Housing & Student Life Office can assist in your housing search.

Parking on campus is limited and on-campus garages are costly; however, there are affordable satellite lots for students with free shuttle bus service to campus.  In addition, a free shuttle bus connects the School of Public Health with the International House, the Homewood Campus, and the railroad station. The subway station at Johns Hopkins Hospital provides convenient transportation to downtown and to Baltimore's northwest suburbs.  More information on parking and transportation.
