Emory Healthcare utilizes Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants at each of our sites: Emory University Hospital, Emory Midtown Hospital, Emory John’s Creek Hospital, and at Grady Healthcare.
An emergency medicine Advanced Practice Provider is a nurse practitioner or physician assistant who works in the Emergency Department. They are trained to manage acutely ill or injured patients of all ages in a physician-lead, team-based model. Our highly trained APPs practice in busy, fast-paced emergency departments and urgent care settings to safely and compassionately treat sick and injured patients with varying levels of acuity. They are integral, highly-valued members of our emergency medicine team and essential to our mission of providing the highest quality service to our patients and the communities we serve.
The Emory Department of Emergency Medicine APPs are aligned with our educational mission and spend time teaching patients, families and allied health professional students with an academic rigor that represents the best that Emory has to offer. They are regularly praised by family, staff and peers for their collegiality, compassion, and bedside manner.
Our APPs also participate in the Department of Emergency Medicine’s mission of academic discovery as leaders within national organizations and integral members of research teams and quality improvement initiatives.
At Emory, Emergency Medicine is team-based and we are proud and invested in our advance practice provider colleagues!
