"Solid clinical training, fellowship in all fields, Atlanta may or may not be the type of city for you, attendings that we met on interview day seem friendly."

"Emory's most impressive offering has to be the wide exposure the residents get. You train at Emory hospital, Crawford, Grady and the VA. All of these locations are drastically different in terms of patient population, facilities, cases you will be involved in etc. You will definitely be a well trained anesthesiologist by the time you finish this program. The residents were a great talk to and they really drove home the quality of the training they get. There is always morning lecture and they have have good prep for written and oral boards. apparently pass rates have been 100% on the written for awhile."

"Everyone was very friendly. Interviews very laid-back. Program gives broad exposure to anything you could want to do in anesthesiology, and offers all fellowships."

"The hospitals that residents work in offer unique experiences: Grady (county hospital offering an emphasis on teaching and resident responsibility), Egleston Children's Hospital (pediatric experience second to none), Emory University Hospital (Tertiary Care), Crawford Long Hospital (Some private practices here, patients tend to be well insured), the VA (veterans rock). I haven't really found another residency program that offers diversity to the extent that Emory does.
Residents are fun to work with. Attendings, including the chairman, are extremely approachable. Administrative staff are always smiling, welcoming and ready to help."

"Program spread out across many hospitals, residents seem to work harder than other programs, no EMR (but may be in the process of acquiring), no simulator training (but the chair later mentioned that they are developing), no moonlighting."

"I know from first hand sources that the critical care rotations here are brutal if not unbearable. Also I think this program may be more geared toward self learners, the chair seemed to stress how much you have to "read on your own" and that "there was only so much good a lecture can do". The residents complained that they didnt get to socialize with each other much because they were spread out at so many different hospitals. The salary seems on the low side, and you only get 3 weeks vaca +1 week sick/professional leave? Most places I have goe to offered 4 weeks vacation"

"Atlanta is not too bad but probably not one of my favorite cities."

"One of the recruiters made a comment when discussing Grady's patient population: "Your chances of surviving a medical emergency are inversely proportional to your value to society". Hearing words like these always rubs me the wrong way. Comments like this should probably left at home on the same shelf as politics and religion on interview day."

"Odd set up. meetings and tours in the afternoon, dinner in the evening, interviews the next morning. you are done by noon. The interviews were very laid back and conversational. I actually used this to my advantage and tried to steer the conversation so that I wouldnt be asked oddball questions."
