The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Curriculum for the Twenty-First Century

The curriculum taught in many US medical schools has altered little since 1910.

Now, spurred in part by changes in health care delivery, schools are re-evaluating.

This text provides a description of the process and outcome of developing a new curriculum at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The book is organized around the subjects and courses taught: basic sciences; physician and society; medical informatics; clinical medicine; and evaluation.

The contributors are Johns Hopkins faculty members who participated in developing the components of the curriculum they discuss.

Throughout, the material is presented in a way that permits easy generalization and adaptation to other medical schools.
