The Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine (CIM) was founded upon the belief that Medicine is a Public Trust. The CIM, which was established at Johns Hopkins Bayview in 2005 by Dr. David Hellmann and Mr. Richard Paisner, is a think-tank and incubator that strives to identify and implement novel ways to make Medicine a better Public Trust. Projects have focused on developing innovative clinical centers for excellence, teaching foundational principles of medical education, and engaging our community to decrease disparities in healthcare.
