The Department is deeply grateful to Mark and Elizabeth Rogers for establishing this important educational resource to support the Department’s mission to train the next generation of anesthesiologists and critical care medicine professionals.

Mark C. Rogers, MD, MBA

Mark C. Rogers, M.D, M.B.A. has a combined academic medical and business career. He trained in four medical specialties at Harvard University and Duke University before coming to Johns Hopkins as an Assistant Professor in 1977 to become the first Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Just over two years later, at age 37, he was named Professor and Chair of the newly renamed Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine. Today, the Director of the Department has an endowed Professorship named after Dr. Rogers.

At Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rogers published 125 papers and authored or edited 12 books, including several translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese. His Textbook of Pediatric Intensive Care is now in its fifth edition and has been renamed for him. The Department grew to many times its original size under his leadership, and there are a host of departmental and division directors who began their career in the Department at Johns Hopkins.

During Dr. Rogers’ time at Johns Hopkins, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine, served as Associate Dean, and received an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of Business at the University of
Pennsylvania.

After leaving Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rogers went on to become CEO of Duke Hospital, Senior Vice-President of the NYSE company that sequenced the human genome, President of a billion-dollar biotech investment company, and started six companies that went public on the Nasdaq, Toronto or London stock exchanges.

Dr. Rogers was former Chair of the Reagan-Udall Foundation, appointed by the U.S. Congress as the civilian advisory Board to the Food and Drug Administration.

He is married to Elizabeth Rogers, M.D., who is a gastroenterologist and geriatrician, is a former faculty member at Johns Hopkins and Yale, and a former Associate Dean at the University of Maryland.
