Emily Nagourney, M.D., MSPH

Medical School: Central Michigan University College of Medicine
Undergrad: Johns Hopkins University
Activities/Hobbies: Running, hiking, practicing yoga, traveling, trying out new restaurants
Home State: New Jersey
Why Johns Hopkins: I chose Hopkins for the people I met on interview day and for the incredible opportunity to train in both emergency medicine and anesthesiology, of course! I want to see and learn everything I can during residency, so I saw Hopkins as the best place for me to do that and grow as a physician for my patients. Not to mention, the opportunities for mentorship and research here are endless. Also, choosing this program allowed me to move back to Baltimore, so I jumped at that chance!

Emily Nagourney was born and raised in New Jersey. She attended college at Johns Hopkins University where she studied Natural Sciences and played as a center back for the varsity women’s soccer team. After college, she received her Master of Science in Public Health degree from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She continued her education in the Midwest at the Central Michigan University College of Medicine before moving back to Baltimore for residency. When she’s not in the hospital, you can most likely find her running around (literally) or exploring Baltimore’s great food scene.

It sealed the deal for me. Everyone I interacted with felt so genuine and had a pure joy about being part of the team. They made me feel like I belonged and they cared about what I had to say.

Activities/Hobbies: Hiking/biking/climbing/skiing/stand-up paddleboarding, weightlifting, soccer, cooking, traveling, going to concerts
Home: Virginia (though I like to say Washington, D.C.)

Why Johns Hopkins: The patients and pathology that come to Johns Hopkins, combined with the incredible resources of the medical campus. Baltimore offers a diverse patient population that presents with a wide spectrum of pathology, and Johns Hopkins itself attracts truly unique cases that are seen in very few other medical institutions. Such a rich learning environment is supported by the brilliant minds of Johns Hopkins faculty and housestaff, with a litany of research and career opportunities. On top of all this, I am very fortunate to be part of the pioneer first class of the new emergency medicine-anesthesiology residency, a combination only possible at Johns Hopkins.

He then worked both as an emergency department scribe as well as a clinical assistant at a private dermatology clinic prior to attending University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine. He hopes to continue to pursue his interests, both academic and extracurricular, while completing his residency at Johns Hopkins.
