Training Doctors at Atlanta's Historic 'Charity' Hospital
Emory's relationship with Grady Memorial Hospital — one of the largest public hospitals in the Southeast — began in the early 1900s, and today Grady is a main hub for clinical education of Emory medical students, residents, and fellows. Scholarships and fellowships help attract the highest achievers to train at Emory, and funding allows medical students the freedom to treat underserved people, explore new treatments, and expand their educational opportunities.
To support the Emory doctors in training at Grady, contact Andrew P. Christopherson, director of development, at 404.727.8253 or andrew.christopherson@emory.edu.
