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.
