Residents and fellows of the Emory Department of Surgery benefit from exposure to the vast and diverse patient populations distributed among the following clinical sites. Our clinical programs are presided over by eminent faculty, propelled by progressive treatment technologies, and are often high volume referral services ranked in the upper tiers of their particular specialties.
Emory University Hospital
Located on the campus of Emory University, Emory University Hospital (EUH) is an adult, tertiary/quaternary care facility that is staffed exclusively by Emory School of Medicine faculty physicians. Long known for services in transplantation, cardiology, cardiac surgery, oncology, neurology/neurosurgery, and orthopaedics, EUH includes a Serious Communicable Diseases Unit where ongoing research, training, and preparedness for challenging infectious diseases continues since the first Ebola patients in the U.S. were treated there in 2014.
EUH is a "Magnet" hospital, a designation earned by only 6% of U.S. hospitals for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. EUH has one of the highest case-mix indexes (a measure of complexity of illness treated) of any hospital in the country.
