Opportunities to Give to EM
About the Emergency Medicine Funds
Education and Residency Fund
Support Emergency Medicine's learners as they continue to grow and thrive. We have outstanding students, residents, and fellows who chose to train at Emory where they graduate with a strong foundation in education, research, and service while building skills in advocacy and wellness.
Recently, we developed individual simulations to prepare residents for the new ABEM certifying examination, and expanded the residents' international opportunities. One of the residency program’s goals is to send every resident to a major conference every year. These conferences include the Georgia College of Emergency Physicians, Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine.
For fellows, the Department offers 11 postgraduate training opportunities. By supporting the Department of Emergency Medicine's education initiatives and the residency program, you are developing future leaders in EM and helping the EM team innovate within the field of medical education.
Faculty Development and Program Advancement
Philanthropic funds play a vital role in advancing the mission of Emergency Medicine's large academic department by enabling faculty development and program expansion. These funds support faculty in deepening their expertise, fostering innovation, and pursuing novel approaches to care through curated research, education, and training opportunities.
Faculty can improve their skills through specialized training, national collaborations, and leadership development initiatives that align with Emory Emergency Medicine’s focus on Innovation and Discovery.
Program advancement efforts prioritize expanding services to meet the diverse needs of patients, particularly in underserved communities. Philanthropic contributions would enhance areas like Toxicology, EMS and Disaster Medicine, Global Health, Critical Care, Advocacy, Ultrasound, and Palliative Care, fostering transformative projects designed to shape the future of Emergency Medicine.
By supporting interdisciplinary innovation, research, and care models, these funds can help develop cutting-edge applications and scalable programs that redefine how Emergency Medicine is delivered locally and globally, with an emphasis on equitable access and long-term impact.
Research, Innovation and Discovery Fund
Your support can accelerate the Department of Emergency Medicine’s innovation and discovery to transform the future of emergent and acute care and improve health.
Areas where we need your support:
- IDEAS Grants (innovation and discovery in the emergent and acute sciences) team, ensuring that faculty and learners have the support, tools, and training that they need to excel
- The Injury Prevention Research Center at Emory (IPRCE), which leads local, regional, and national efforts to prevent violence, overdose, unintentional injury
- The Emory Neurotrauma Translational Research Center (ENTiRE), which pioneers the development of methods to speed bench to bedside translation of new technologies and drugs to improve the treatment of traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neuropathic pain
- Health DesignED, which is an innovation center that is reimagining emergency and acute care to make it more accessible, equitable, and efficient
- The Emergency Neurosciences Lab’s Trial Operations Core and Clinical Coordinating Center, which leads clinical research that continues to develop and define the efficacy of new approaches to treatment of TBI and stroke that are saving lives and improving patient outcomes
With your help, the Emory EM team can continue to develop groundbreaking translational and public health research.
Your gift can make a huge impact on the Emory Emergency Medicine team!
