J. Brooks Jackson, M.D., M.B.A.
Baxley Professor & Director of Pathology
Welcome to the Johns Hopkins Medicine Pathology Web Site. As our Department continues to grow, communication becomes increasingly more important. Currently, there are over 1300 people in the department which includes approximately 130 full-time faculty, 32 residents, 35 graduate students, over 100 fellows, and approximately 1000 staff. Full-time employees are not just based in Baltimore, but also in Brazil, Peru, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, India, and China. With internet access available at all these sites, I strongly encourage Pathology faculty, housestaff, students, staff, alumni, and prospective trainees to find out more about the activities of the Department.

Our History
The Department of Pathology has played a significant role in the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions since the opening of the hospital in 1889 and the School of Medicine four years later. Indeed, Pathology was one of the original departments created. Moreover, the first endowed professorship at The Johns Hopkins University was the Baxley Professor of Pathology, the first professor to be appointed in the School of Medicine was the Professor of Pathology, and the first hospital building to be opened and operational was the Pathological Building.
The first Professor of Pathology was Dr. William H. Welch, a remarkable man whose influence on the Hospital and School of Medicine remains unsurpassed.Read More > |

About Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions
The Johns Hopkins Hospital opened in 1889, followed years later by The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Together, they ushered in a new era in medicine. Moving from laboratory to lecture hall to the patient's bedside, students and residents brought the scientific approach to medicine and received firsthand training in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The "Hopkins experiment" changed the pattern of medical education in the United States and had a positive impact on patient care. Within two decades, the Hospital and School of Medicine were models of medical and surgical care and physician education for the nation. That distinction remains intact after 100 years.
