Mission Statement

To recruit, cultivate, and maintain a diverse network of residents, fellows, and attendings where the primary goal is to provide quality, socially-conscious care to the patients and families representative of the greater Atlanta area. We strive to implement a residency program that is strengthened by diversity while training more under-represented minority physicians to lead in the communities they serve.

Who do we serve?

A diverse and fulfilling patient population:

  • 54% African-American
  • 10% Hispanic
  • Egleston: 60% Medicaid, 10% uninsured
  • Hughes Spalding: >90% Medicaid
  • Large refugee settlement population
  • Third largest LGBTQ community in the United States

Our Mission

The Emory Pediatrics Residency Program strives to produce pediatricians who possess outstanding clinical competence and a lifelong passion for inquiry. Graduates of the Emory program are well-prepared to enter general pediatric practice, subspecialty training, or a career in teaching and research. Through exposure to a diverse population of patients, an accomplished cadre of supervising faculty, and a comprehensive curriculum, our graduates are equipped to become future leaders within the field of pediatrics.

Our residents provide front-line care to over a half-million patients annually at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the Grady Health System. Our diverse clinical sites give residents experience with pediatric conditions both common and complex, in patients representing a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

We foster an environment of care and compassion for patients, families, and colleagues. Our curricular structure focuses on development of a whole person as well as physician during training. Our 400+ faculty members are committed to resident education in all forms, including bedside teaching, didactics, and research mentorship.

We hope you find this site informative and welcome any questions you might have about our program. Thank you for your interest and congratulations on selecting pediatrics as a career choice!
