Emory School of Medicine comes from a long tradition of good works. Born more than 150 years ago to care for the underserved in Atlanta, the school has evolved from a respected regional pacesetter to an international presence with an enduring ethic. Emory has trained more than 32,000 physicians, including scientists whose discoveries have saved lives and relieved the suffering of people around the world. Closer to home, if you are in a car wreck, suffer a heart attack, or become critically ill in Georgia, an Emory doctor or one who trained at Emory probably will take care of you. One of four doctors now practicing in Georgia learned the art and science of medicine at Emory. The school’s new curriculum is among the most innovative, student-centered, and patient- focused in academic medicine, as is its state-of-the-art medical
