The Program Director and two Associate
Program Directors work to structure an excellent
learning environment for future pediatricians. The Program
Director, Dr. Buchter, has led the Program for 16 years, through
3 RRC accreditation visits and the implementation of Duty
Hours and the Competencies. Dr. Gardner oversees the Community-based
Continuity Clinics, and is an attending physician in the Resident
Continuity Clinic. She is nurturing our Primary Care initiatives
and the Global Health Initiative. Dr. Hilinski began as Associate
Program Director in July 2009 after being involved in resident
recruitment for several years as a member of the Resident
Selection Committee. He is taking a role in enhancing subspecialty
involvement in our educational activities.
There are two Assistant Program Directors who are chosen
to spend a year after completion of their training to lead
the residents during the academic year. They serve as attending
physicians on the General Pediatrics wards and in Continuity
Clinic and they have a critical role in teaching residents
and medical students in our Morning Reports.
The residents elect 4 of the third year residents to serve
3 rotations each as Chief Residents. They serve as important
liason between the residents and the Program Administration.
The Program Administration works with residents and faculty
representatives on the Resident Advisory Committee to work
on curriculum, activities, and accreditiation. Residents elect
2-3 representatives from each class and the faculty are chosen
to represent the various clinical services where residents
rotate.
Message from Department Chair:
The objective of the Emory University Pediatric Residency
program is to train a cadre of young pediatricians who will
go on to become leaders in their chosen areas of interest.
The program helps develop the knowledge and skills necessary
to become exceptional and versatile pediatricians who are
qualified to provide the finest quality medical care to pediatric
patients and/or to pursue academic careers in medical investigation
and education.
We achieve clinical excellence by serving a broad patient
population. As a part of our program, you will see these patients
in a variety of settings, from your continuity clinics to
the ICU. One of our program's greatest assets is that you
have the opportunity to work in both a general pediatric hospital
and a tertiary care pediatric referral center. This gives
you the ability to become very comfortable with the care and
treatment of common pediatric diagnoses, while also gaining
the breadth of experience gained through the care of patients
with rare and complex diseases. Moreover, we provide care
to a broad cultural and socioeconomic spectrum, introducing
our residents to problems related to the under-served and
the broader intersection of society and medicine.
Our curriculum offers comprehensive clinical experience,
rewarding teaching and supervisory responsibilities, and the
opportunity for active participation in research and child
advocacy issues. House officers are selected on the basis
of academic record, letters of recommendation, and personal
interviews. Pediatric residency training at Emory is an outstanding
experience. We urge you to come for an on-site interview so
that you may interact with house staff and faculty, view our
facilities and see the program in action.
We encourage you to examine this site to learn more about
our program. We welcome any questions that you may have. If
we can help you in your search for a pediatric program, please
do not hesitate to contact us.

Professor of Pediatrics
