The Woodruff Health Sciences Center components include Emory University School of Medicine, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Rollins School of Public Health, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Winship Cancer Institute, and Emory Healthcare, the largest most comprehensive health system in Georgia. Emory Healthcare includes EmoryUniversity Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory University Orthopaedics & Spine Hospital, The Emory Clinic, Emory-Children’s Center, Wesley Woods Center, Emory Johns Creek Hospital and the jointly owned Emory-Adventist Hospital. Partners in patient care, research, and teaching include Grady Memorial Hospital, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta Veterens Affairs Medical Center and Georgia Institute of Technology .

These divisions are subject to the Rules and Regulations of Emory University with which students are expected to comply whether pursuing their educational program in a University-owned facility or in a non-University facility to which they have been assigned.  Further, since Emory University, as a corporation, is a creature of public law, official cooperation with public law enforcement agencies has been exercised traditionally with regard to the interests of the University community.
