Residency Program
| |
The Emory Pediatric Residency Program strives to produce pediatricians who possess outstanding
clinical competence, exceptional technical skills, and a lifelong
passion for inquiry. We also foster an environment of care and
compassion for patients, families, and colleagues. Graduates of
the Emory program are well-prepared to enter general pediatric
practice, subspecialty training, or a career in teaching and research.
The Emory Pediatric Residency Program has 54 positions (18 each at the PL-1, PL-2,
and PL-3 levels). The year is divided into thirteen four-week
rotations. All residents have at least one half day per week of
continuity clinic. PL-1 residents are assigned
to clinic at Hughes Spalding Children's Hospital. At the
beginning of the PL-2 year, residents have the
option to stay at Hughes Spalding or go out to a community location.
PL-3 residents in a community clinic setting
have two half days per week of continuity clinic. Other PL-3 residents
opt to do one half day per week in a subspecialty clinic in addition
to their regular primary care clinic.
Each pediatric house officer is assigned a faculty advisor who serves as an academic and career
advisor. Following each clinical rotation, the faculty evaluate
the resident's knowledge, skills, and professionalism. These
evaluations are reviewed by the faculty advisor and are discussed
with the resident quarterly.
Residents in the Emory program train at two clinical sites:
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston
