We provide specialty pediatric care in the Emory Children’s Center (ECC), at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—Egleston, CHOA—Scottish Rite, CHOA—Hughes Spalding Children’s, Grady Memorial Hospital (GMH), Emory University Hospital Midtown (EUHM), and Emory Johns Creek Hospital. A new Department of Pediatrics/Emory Children’s Center building was completed in 2005, providing an expansion in clinical and research space as well as the opportunity for clinicians and investigators to work in close proximity fostering the interchange of ideas.

The Emory University Department of Pediatrics has a strong Residency Program as well as Fellowship Programs in most of our subspecialty Divisions. The residency offers a balanced training experience in general pediatrics and the pediatric subspecialties. Embracing the clinical services at CHOA-Hughes Spalding, the Grady Memorial Hospital nurseries and CHOA—Egleston, the curriculum offers comprehensive clinical experience, rewarding teaching and supervision responsibilities, and the opportunity for active participation in research. Our pediatric training programs have grown significantly in recent years and have consistently attracted strong candidates.

We are committed to continuing programs that will develop current and future Department of Pediatrics faculty members. The Pediatric Executive Program was established in 2005 to help develop, exercise, and strengthen individual leadership within the Department of Pediatrics, and to foster collegiality and teamwork as we strive to realize our vision and mission. The broad curriculum offers physicians, researchers, educators, and administrators a first hand opportunity to learn leadership skills and the basics of the business of medicine. Other faculty development opportunities include courses for junior faculty members offered at the level of the University, the School of Medicine, and the Department. We especially encourage you to visit the Faculty Development portion of this website.

In addition to developing your skills through these offerings, as a member of the faculty you have the opportunity to develop collaborative relationships that will strengthen your research and knowledge base. With close proximity to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and a close relationship to other departments across campus, and other research institutions in Atlanta (including the Georgia Institute of Technology) our investigators have participated in and led world renowned projects.

As a faculty member of the Emory University School of Medicine you belong to an institution rich in history (see http://www.emory.edu/history/). The University is recognized internationally for its outstanding liberal arts college, superb professional schools, and one of the leading health care systems in the country.
