I think it is wonderful you have a strong commitment to medicine, and to the world. I hope you hold to those commitments, and they continue to motivate you. I am sure the graduate school in neuroscience is among the top programs. If you are a strong student at JHU, I'm sure you will be able to benefit from it.

I also think you will find excellent neuroscience programs at all of the better state universities, where the average JHU student (now a top student at the state u) may have even greater access to good mentoring, internships, and research opportunities.

The #1 medical school in the country in primary care practice is the University of Washington. Unless you are planning to do a specialty in something like tropical disease, you may find that the majority of Doctors Without Borders physicians have their initial training in primary care. You might ask them to find out.
