Program highlights
- Residents staff directly with experienced attendings, not upper-level residents: emphasise wanting autonomy with direct teaching, and ask how supervision is graded.
- Faculty are an independent democratic group, and resident-run committees (DEI, curriculum, orientation and recruiting, wellness, clinical operations) shape the program: bring ideas for what you would change or build.
- Young program (first class matched 2021) in growth mode with a simulation fellowship started and ultrasound and EMS fellowships being explored: ask about fellowship plans and graduate outcomes.
- Month-long orientation with an EMS week and longitudinal EMS and advanced ultrasound shifts: show interest in prehospital care and ultrasound.
- Pediatric EM and PICU at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, rural EM month, and 3 electives that can be back-to-back in PGY-3: ask how to design an elective path.
- Safety-net, high-acuity population (over 20% admission rate, Level I trauma with 2,400+ trauma admissions, large Latino community): connect your interest in underserved care. Program sponsors J-1 visas only.
