Urban Health and Primary Care at Johns Hopkins: Urban Primary Care Medical Home Resident Training Programs

Johns Hopkins University recently implemented two novel urban health residency training programs (UHR). The programs include increased access programs, community health worker-delivered care, substance abuse screening and treatment, community psychiatry/ mental health programs, case and disease management teams, and interprofessional training. These programs are designed to create well-trained physicians who competently provide care for the underserved inner-city patient.
