Dr. Hanyok received her M.D. from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine before coming to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center for her internal medicine residency training.

She is the director of interprofessional education for the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and she was named a Macy Faculty Scholar by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, a highly competitive career development award for educators in the health professions.

As assistant dean for graduate medical education, Dr. Hanyok will focus on promoting a healthy working environment for residents and fellows by leading efforts in maintaining wellness and preventing burnout. She will also assist in the coordination and management of assessment data for program accreditation and institutional review. Dr. Hanyok will organize our institutional activities related to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Clinical Learning Environment Review program, including facilitating the integration of residents and fellows into patient safety and quality improvement initiatives of the clinical settings in which they train.
