Health Professional

Recognized as a global leader in medical research and patient care, Johns Hopkins University is preparing a new generation of health professionals to become tomorrow’s leaders in clinical education.

The Johns Hopkins School of Education’s Master of Education in the Health Professions program concentrates the full breadth of John Hopkins expertise to prepare advanced health professionals with culturally sensitive, evidence-based strategies for improving clinical practice across the spectrum of health care.

Our MEHP Fellows frequently go on to clinical education leadership roles in hospitals, medical systems, higher education institutions, and health organizations across the world. Our graduates develop clinical innovations and publish in field-leading journals — often while still in the program — and have integrated their academic work and research into new initiatives within their current practice. Graduates also work as health educators, community health program coordinators, public health specialists, health promotion specialists, or wellness program managers in schools, healthcare organizations, community centers, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.
