Palliative Care Faculty | Emory School of Medicine

Our faculty physicians are all board-certified in hospice and palliative medicine. While their primary specialties are varied and include internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, anesthesiology, and emergency medicine, all palliative medicine physicians have an academic home in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine.

Emory faculty are thought leaders in palliative medicine and are frequently recognized for excellence in research, education, and service on the national, regional, and institutional level.

Senior, Distinguished, and Eminent Physician are titles awarded by the Emory School of Medicine Clinical Distinctions program.

The Clinical Distinctions designation program is designed to recognize faculty who have devoted a majority of their time and careers to providing excellence in clinical care. While the Clinical Distinction designation is not intended to compete with or replace the standard academic promotions mechanism for faculty advancement, it emphasizes the critical contributions of clinically focused faculty in the School of Medicine.
