Adopt-a-Resident | Emory School of Medicine

The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences' culture of giving encourages faculty, staff, alumni, patients, and other individuals to provide charitable gifts that support the department’s tripartite mission. The Adopt-A-Resident Program is a testament to the generosity of donors committed to supporting the department's efforts to develop future leaders in radiology and imaging sciences.

Funded by these charitable gifts, the Adopt-A-Resident program encourages first- and second-year residents to submit detailed proposals of unique projects that both foster their own career development and also improve radiology resident training. The Adopt-A-Resident Committee reviews proposals once a year and "adopts" or provides funding and mentorship for the most promising proposals. Please email Dr. Paul Harkey at paul.p.harkey@emory.edu for additional information.
