It is the world’s finest medical school. And everything there is about medicine. You see professors of mathematics who specialize in building mathematical models of human bones. You will see professors who specialize in the linguistics of patient communication. You see brilliant students who are pioneering the business of healthcare and medicine. Everything in Johns Hopkins University connects to medicine, surgery and healthcare.
Yes, in that school, they make you live medicine. As an engineering student, I performed surgeries on pigs. Yes, thoracic and abdominal surgeries in operating rooms, testing how robots can improve minimally invasive surgeries. They taught me a lot of things in the most fascinating way, because if you can build systems which can be used on humans, you have victory over all machines, because the human system is the most complex one out there.
“Veritas vos Liberabit” is the university motto and it means “The Truth Will Set You Free”. And for that to happen, knowledge is key.
