Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is a premiere clinical and academic health system, providing expert pediatric care for infants, children and teens with some of the most challenging medical problems. Ranked in multiple specialties by U.S. News & World Report, we provide access to innovative treatments and therapies.

Physicians and community hospitals count on us to care for critically ill patients and perform complex surgical procedures.

The role of the advanced practice provider (physician assistant or nurse practitioner) at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital is one of collaboration and partnership within an inter-professional team. APPs are board-certified providers who assume responsibility and accountability for health stabilization, promotion, and maintenance of acute and chronic illness or injury under the supervision of a physician. APPs are expected to participate in evidenced-based clinical practice, clinical research, ongoing innovative education, and shared governance throughout the organization.
