The Regional Medical Campus in Baltimore is designed for medical students who desire to train in a clinical environment of an integrated healthcare delivery system committed to population health. The Regional Medical campus is located at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, part of the LifeBridge Health system. LifeBridge Health provides the full spectrum of outpatient and inpatient healthcare under one organization and partners with others to identify and address the social determinants of health impacting the communities it serves.
Sinai Hospital has a rich history of medical education and is a 483 bed teaching hospital that sponsors seven (7) residency programs (including internal medicine, pediatrics, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, OB/Gyn, physical medicine, and rehabilitation) as well as competitive fellowship programs. Founded in 1866 as a hospital to serve Jewish patients and to train Jewish medical students and residents not accepted elsewhere, Sinai continues with a spirit of diversity and inclusion for its trainees, employees, and patients. The hospital is home to several clinical Centers of Excellence and of the only hospital based bio-incubator in Maryland where healthcare startup companies can bring new inventions to clinical care.
The RMC will be administered locally by the Senior Associate Dean for the Regional Medical Campus in addition to assistant deans for student affairs and curriculum. There are other staff in the RMC Dean’s office to support students. The newly renovated and expanded simulation center at Sinai Hospital has a team dedicated to simulation education and the standardized patient program, similar to the main campus. Additionally, the RMC has a new student lounge for GW medical students, computer labs, conference rooms, and a medical library. Each clinical clerkship will have a clerkship director, clerkship coordinator, and a team of faculty to teach, mentor, advise, and support students during the clinical phase of training.
