In alignment with our Department’s mission and vision to be the preeminent academic emergency medicine department in the country, the Emory Emergency Medicine CEDIC is dedicated to fostering a culture where every member feels valued and supported. Community means every individual is respected, welcomed, and valued as an essential part of the team.
We recognize that each individual’s needs may differ, and embracing what makes us all unique will allow us to create an environment where everyone can thrive. Our goal is to ensure that all members are supported and empowered to thrive in their respective areas of interest.
By fostering a culture rooted in community and connection, we move towards our vision to be the preeminent department in Emergency medicine known for its excellence in patient care, innovation in scientific discovery, and prominence in national leadership. This commitment extends to ALL our people— including, but not limited to, faculty, staff, advanced practice providers (APPs), residents, fellows, and alumni.
Community, belonging, and engagement are core principles of our department. Our alliances and partnerships with people in our community and the patients we serve are essential drivers in our pursuit of eminence. Belonging strengthens our shared commitment and enables us to institute change and sustain support where it is most needed. CEDIC’s primary aim is to create, facilitate, and develop educational, research, and service initiatives within the department that strengthens community, fosters belonging, and promotes engagement among all members.
Emory Emergency Medicine’s CEDIC recognizes systemic barriers and denounces the persistence of disparities in healthcare and society. As part of an academic institution, we strive to build a culture of health and wellness that empowers those who have been most vulnerable. We will continue to take the necessary steps and work collectively to abolish the harmful effects of health inequities in our society. We expect all faculty, residents, APPs, and staff to be accountable for cultivating an environment of belonging and respect.
Emory Emergency Medicine is nationally recognized as an inspiring, motivating, high-quality, cutting-edge, and caring community committed to delivering outstanding care to patients from all backgrounds. We are dedicated to extending our commitment to belonging through community outreach, the continued education of our learners, and sustained support for our faculty, staff, APPs, residents, fellows and activation of our alumni to reengage in our EM community.
