Mission, Vision and Core Values
Mission
The Emory Emergency Medicine (EM) Residency Program actively works to recruit, develop, and train the next generation of diverse Emergency Medicine leaders with the skills and expertise to provide outstanding patient care, engage in cutting edge research, seek opportunities for service and advocacy, and invest in personal and professional wellness and resiliency techniques.
Vision
Emory EM will be the leading academic Emergency Medicine program in transforming health and healing, through education, discovery, prevention, and care. To remain ethically engaged and a diverse community, whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation.
Our Core Values
The residency program believes in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion of its residency classes while embracing excellence in our four pillars: Education, Wellness/Resiliency, Research, and Service/Advocacy.
Due to the pioneering efforts of Dr. John Stone, our program accepted the first group of residents in 1974. Our residency program has grown to more than 60 residents who come from diverse backgrounds and regions of the world. They share a uniformly high caliber of achievement and a strong commitment to our specialty. Residents are exposed to diverse internationally recognized faculty and numerous Emergency Medicine Fellowships. The unique opportunities afforded by an elite institute of higher learning coupled with an affiliation with an inner-city county hospital make this program a stand out. Furthermore, Emory EM's affiliations with the CDC, Rollins School of Public Health, and Grady EMS/affiliates round out an excellent training ground for new physicians.
