Reputation
For years, Johns Hopkins has been the nation's top medical school in the number of competitive research grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health. According to U.S. News and World Report, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and UPenn have consistently been ranked in the top three medical research schools in the nation. Its major teaching hospital, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, has been ranked the top hospital in the United States every year since 1991 by U.S. News and World Report. Askmen.com ranked an M.D. from Johns Hopkins as one of the five most prestigious degrees in the world
The School has served as the model for American medical schools since its founding in 1893. It was the first medical school to require its students to have an undergraduate degree and was also the first graduate-level medical school to admit women on an equal basis as men. Mary E. Garrett, head of the Women's Medical School Fund, was a driving force behind both of these firsts. School founder Sir William Osler became the first professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins and the physician-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Osler 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.

Famous quotes containing the word reputation:
“Our culture, therefore, must not omit the arming of the man. Let him hear in season, that he is born into the state of war, and that the commonwealth and his own well-being require that he should not go dancing in the weeds of peace, but warned, self- collected, and neither defying nor dreading the thunder, let him take both reputation and life in his hand, and, with perfect urbanity, dare the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behaviour.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
““What have I earned for all that work,” I said,
“For all that I have done at my own charge?
The daily spite of this unmannerly town,
Where who has served the most is most defamed,
The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
