Residents
Recruited from all over the country, 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.
Teaching activities for residents are multiple and diverse. All residents are involved as lecturers for the Emergency Department's didactic conferences. In 2002, the Emergency Medicine Residency Program increased its class size to 18 residents per year, and in 2008 to 19. In 2011, our Department began accepting additional international residents through a training agreement with the Saudi Arabian Cultural Ministry. Our program currently has 59 residents.
Our department also provides courses for a mandatory Emergency Medicine rotation for medical students from Emory University School of Medicine, is the primary Emergency Medicine experience for the Morehouse School of Medicine, and hosts visiting students and residents rotating through all our academic Emergency Departments.
Residents may certify as instructors in ACLS and ATLS and participate in continuing medical education courses for pre-hospital providers. Our Emergency Medicine Department pays for residents to be members of ACEP, EMRA, and SAEM throughout their training. Financial support is also available for residents interested in attending conferences.
Residents graduate with the ability to practice independently in any demanding Emergency Department in the country. Roughly 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.
