Clinical Experience

Our location just outside of Baltimore puts us in close proximity to some of the most outstanding hospitals and clinics in the nation. Goucher students regularly have clinical and research experiences at such institutions as Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Sinai Hospital, as well as clinics that help underserved and uninsured populations, including the Esperanza Health Clinic, Nueva Vida, St. Clare Medical Outreach, Shepherd’s Clinic, and Remote Area Medical. Students can gain exposure to public health initiatives through the Baltimore City Health Department’s numerous community-based programs.
