Adopt a Resident

The Emory Department of Emergency Medicine continues to grow and thrive. Our residents rotate through state-of-the-art facilities at Emory University Hospital Clifton, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, Children's Hospital of Atlanta at Scottish Rite and Grady Memorial Hospital.

While the faculty has grown to over 100 physicians and the department is rated number one in the country in federal research dollars, the Grady ER remains the heart and soul of the department.

We have outstanding residents who chose to train at Emory/Grady, where they graduate with a strong foundation in education, research, service/advocacy, and wellness/resiliency. But there is still a lot we can do to make this a stronger academic program. Recently, we expanded the resident's international opportunities and made our service projects more robust.

Our current goal is to be able to send every resident to a major conference every year. The “Adopt-A-Resident” campaign will allow a resident to attend GCEP, SAEM, and ACEP over the course of her/his residency. Smaller donations will allow residents to attend at least one of these important meetings.

Your help can make a huge impact!
