Program Identity & Fit

Emory Emergency Medicine is a large, historically pioneering academic program (founded 1974 under Dr. John Stone) anchored by its affiliation with Grady Memorial Hospital, an inner-city, county safety-net institution, alongside Emory University Hospital, Emory Midtown, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta sites, giving residents a mix of high-acuity urban/underserved, tertiary academic, and pediatric exposure. The program is built around four explicit pillars—Education, Wellness/Resiliency, Research, and Service/Advocacy—and offers structured longitudinal Pathways (Scholarship and Innovation, Global EM) with dedicated mentorship, protected time, and a direct on-ramp to a departmental research fellowship for those completing the research track. Institutional ties to the CDC, Rollins School of Public Health, and Grady EMS reinforce a public-health- and service-oriented identity alongside strong emergency clinical training. The program values residents committed to underserved/safety-net care, service and advocacy, and scholarly productivity, explicitly seeking applicants who articulate a specific "why Emory" fit.
