Our physician faculty provide over 5 million patient service visits each year, treating rare conditions and complex cases at our tertiary care facilities. We serve special populations at our children's, veterans, and safety-net medical centers, and provide state-of-the-art clinical training to residents and fellows in our simulation labs and patient-care clinics. And we bring life-saving drugs and therapies to the people who need them in our translational research centers.
Supporting Our People
Healing others can take a serious toll on physicians' own mental and physical health. We provide our faculty and students with a range of support services to protect their health as well as the health of their patients.
Faculty Development
Medical advancements occur here every day, and continuous, active learning is an important part of a clinician's work. We offer regular courses and programs to help you develop your clinical skills and meet your career goals.
A Personal Milestone Becomes a Community One
Kimberly Manning, Emory School of Medicine professor, turned 50 in 2020. Ordinarily, that would be a cause for celebration only to those closest to her. But as she thought about another milestone in her life—the fact that last year marked 20 years of service at Grady Hospital—Manning made a wish online that went like this: “My 50th birthday dream is to raise $50,000 for the Grady COVID-19 Response Fund by the end of September 2020. Given the disproportionate impact that COVID-19 has had on the Black community, this is personal to me. I hope you’ll let it be personal to you too.” She cited Grady’s status “as the only hospital system that turns no one away regardless of ability to pay”and promised that dollars received would support patient care, medical supplies, testing resources, and staff support. Contributors eclipsed the $50,000 goal easily; the fund now boasts more than $200,000. Though Manning was honored to help the larger community, in some sense she sees it as repayment. As she notes, “Everyone knows that Grady saves lives. But for the past 20 years, Grady Hospital has saved my life too. I am better for being here, serving here, teaching here, and growing here.”
