opening thoughts 

For the first time, five Black surgical residents are leading the way at Johns Hopkins Hospital

Five Black surgical residents have made history at Johns Hopkins Hospital as the first all-Black team of residents to lead the trauma center.

We often say that we are our ancestors’ wildest dreams. And at Johns Hopkins Hospital, five surgical residents are living in this truth.

Doctors Valentine S. Alia, M.D. (second-year resident), Lawrence B. Brown, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H. (seventh-year resident), Ivy Mannoh, M.D. (third-year resident), Zachary Obinna Enumah, M.D., Ph.D., M.A. (ninth-year and critical care fellow)  and Ifeoluwa “Ife” Shoyombo, M.D., M.P.H., M.S. (third-year resident) are now leading the hospital’s flagship Halsted service in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery — marking the first time in the residency program’s history that an all-Black team of senior residents and second year post graduate specialized residents has taken the reins.

“A historic moment for our program. For the first time in program history, our flagship Halsted service (Trauma & ACS) is led by an all-Black team of senior residents and PGY-2s [Postgraduate Year Two residents],” an Instagram caption read, spotlighting the groundbreaking moment. “Black individuals comprise 13% of the U.S. population but only 6% of general surgeons nationwide. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we recognize this milestone while continuing the work to build a more representative surgical workforce.”
