Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Description: The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, located in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., is the academic medical teaching and research arm of Johns Hopkins University. The School of Medicine is widely regarded as one of the best medical schools and biomedical research institutes in the world. Located in East Baltimore, it is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Hospital, its major teaching hospital, as well as several other community sites, including the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Sinai Hospital, Howard County General Hospital and Greater Baltimore Medical Center. Together they form an academic health science centre.
The East Baltimore campus of Johns Hopkins University is home to the School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the School of Nursing. The campus comprises several city blocks, radiating outwards from the Billings building of the Johns Hopkins Hospital with its historic dome.
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has been home to many "firsts"; it was the first medical school to require its students to have an undergraduate degree. It was also the first graduate-level medical school to admit women on an equal basis as men. Mary Elizabeth Garrett, head of the Women's Medical School Fund, was a driving force behind both of these 'firsts.' In addition, Sir William Osler, the first professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins and the physician-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital was responsible for establishing the residency system of postgraduate medical training, where young physicians were required to "reside" within the hospital to better care for their patients.

Thanks for the post. I am much interested in everything which concerns the history of medicine, because I am a student of the Medical University myself. I wrote my research work on the history of medicine. The biographical book on Mary Elizabeth Garrett's life, which I downloaded on http://www.picktorrent.com search engine on torrent files was most helpful. I learned that she'd contributed the endowment to establish the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine with two unprecedented conditions: that women be admitted on the same terms as men and that the school be graduate level, thereby forcing revolutionary policy changes at the male—run institution.
