Surgery is nothing short of a stupendous magic act
An excerpt from The Invention of Surgery: A History of Modern Medicine: From the Renaissance to the Implant Revolution. Johns Hopkins University was unlike anything ever built.

The Step 1 Score Reporting Change – A Step in the Right Direction for IMGs?
By TALAL HILAL, MD
The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step
1, a test co-sponsored by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and the
National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), has been the exam that people love
to hate. For many years, blogs, Twitter feeds, and opinion pieces have been
accumulating urging the presidents of the FSMB/NBME to stop reporting a 3-digit
score and instead report a pass/fail score. This animosity towards the Step 1
exam originates from the reality that medical schools have increasingly focused
their curriculum on teaching what the Step 1 wants you to learn – medica...

Ambitious International Brain Initiative (IBI) launched to advance global neuroscience research
__
Decoding the Brain Goes Global With the International Brain Initiative (Singularity Hub):
“… it’s perhaps fitting that mankind is now uniting to understand the organ that fundamentally makes us human: our brain. First envisioned in 2016 through a series of discussions on the “grand challenges” in neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, the International Brain Initiative (IBI) “came out” this week in a forward-looking paper in Neuron.
Rather than each country formulating their own brain projects independently, the project argues, it’s high time for the world to come together and shar...

Hopkins nurses wear red to raise awareness of heart disease in women. Why? Because of stories like Miki Goodwin’s. She’s not alone—heart disease is the number one cause of death among women and men in the United States and worldwide, and it can show up differently in women.

How Digital Health Technology Can Help Manage The Coronavirus Outbreak
“Chinese health authorities say an outbreak of a pneumonia-like illness has sickened 305 people and killed five”… No, this is not an excerpt from a recent news report about the Wuhan virus, but it is actually one from a CNN piece from 2003 when the SARS outbreak was raging. There are many similarities between the current outbreak to the SARS one from its geolocation to its spread to the viruses themselves.
However, much has changed within the 17 year gap between those two pandemics. For one, technology in the healthcare sector has known an exponential boom. New technologies that were nonexistent or...
