Our clinical training begins the very first week, with rotations starting halfway through the second year. This grants valuable hands-on exposure to a range of specialties and subspecialties, giving you experience in 14 disciplines in both hospital and outpatient settings before you begin applying to residency programs.
You'll work with a close-knit team in a range of private, academic, and translational settings, where you'll witness the many different ways of approaching medicine. You'll get first-hand experience with advanced treatments and rare conditions, with access to diverse patient populations in the Atlanta area as well as patients who travel long distances seeking the highest level of care in our facilities.
You'll also be part of an institution operating at the forefront of biomedical research, with all of the connections and resources that come with it. You'll dedicate five months to an independent research project where you'll explore clinical or basic science research, pursue an international research opportunity, or integrate personal interests like public health, education, and policy.
I chose Emory because I found a community of compassionate and empathetic future physicians in an institution committed to patient-centered care, public health, and under served populations. Emory is the ideal mix of caliber and camaraderie.
