Education

Welcome to Emory medical education at Grady! On behalf of our team, we're excited for you to join us at the premier teaching hospital in the country.

There are currently over 1,400 Graduate Medical Education trainees at Emory University School of Medicine, and about 80% of those will rotate at Grady during the academic year. We have more than 350 Emory residents at Grady Hospital daily, representing approximately 50 training programs. Grady is also particularly important for our medical students during their clinical rotations, with 50-75 rotating at any given time. Emory partners closely with the Morehouse School of Medicine, which also uses Grady as a training site. We also sponsor visiting residents nationwide, particularly in partnership with our nation's military training centers.



Mission

The educational mission of Emory School of Medicine is to train physicians who will improve health care in Georgia, the U.S. and internationally by ensuring our learners develop into inquisitive, scientifically oriented, board-certified physicians and leaders. The Emory at Grady vision is to be a leader in innovative medical education practices by developing exemplary physician leaders of national prominence.
