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
