A Unique Clinical Experience Where We Work

We provide clinical care and physician training in Emory-owned facilities as well as three major affiliate hospital systems: one of the nation's most respected veterans hospitals, one of the largest pediatric health systems in the U.S., and a Level I trauma safety-net hospital.

These facilities are learning laboratories where clinical practice is informed by the expertise of leading biomedical researchers to provide cutting-edge care to our patients. Our blend of basic science, translational research, and care that puts people first enables us to deliver creative solutions that improve health outcomes today and in the future.
