Resident Opportunities

At Emory the CDC is in your back yard. Our residents have a chance to work one on one with a variety of CDC personnel both clinically and in research. This is a unique and amazing opportunity that few residency programs can offer. This collaboration allows us to lead the way in providing hospital protocols in major world events such as the Ebola epidemic and the more recent SARS-COV2 pandemic.

The Global Health Residency Scholars Program is a four-week rotation, international elective for senior residents in Ethiopia, or other developing country depending on availability. During a four-week clinical rotation, the resident will compare and contrast obstetrical and gynecological disease issues in a large urban Ethiopian public hospital with those in the resident’s home community, explore personal and professional interests in international health, participate in routine clinical activities, and gain exposure to infectious diseases and advanced disease states, both gynecological and obstetrical, that are rare in the United States. The resident will have an active role in the educational activities and will prepare didactic sessions appropriate for medical students and residents.

Residents in their PGY3 and PGY4 have an opportunity to complement their training through the Emory GME Residency Tracks. These unique pathways in global health, quality improvement/patient safety, medical education, ethics, and healthcare management will offer improvement in resident training outside the standard training program
