Meet our Residents
Recruited from all over the world, Emory University Department of Emergency Medicine residents train alongside high-functioning residents in other specialties to foster both personal and professional collegiality. This approach prepares residents for careers in a field where the interface with all specialties is of great importance. Each year, residents have progressively increased responsibility in the Emergency Departments.
Residents graduate with the ability to practice independently in any demanding Emergency Department in the country. Approximately 35 percent of our graduates stay in academics and have an excellent track record of obtaining the faculty position or fellowship of their choice. The majority of our residents enter community-based practices and are recruited nationally. As the only training program in Atlanta, Emory University Emergency Medicine residents have the advantage in the regional market.
You may direct correspondence to any Emory University Emergency Medicine resident through the Emergency Medicine chief residents at emcr@listserv.cc.emory.edu.
