Mission Statement
The Division of General Medicine provides the bulk of
clinical patient-care services in adult medicine at Grady Memorial
Hospital. The Division's mission encompasses patient-care, teaching
and research. Patient care is first priority since the other components
of the mission depend on excellence in patient care. The Division's
faculty sees patients directly and provides hands-on supervision for
every one of our patients seen by the Emory housestaff. We provide
services on Emory's Inpatient Units. (The Division's attending physicians
supervise nine of the twelve patient-care teams on Emory's Inpatient
Service in Internal Medicine), General Medical Clinic, and Urgent Care
Center. There are currently forty-one full-time faculty physicians
working in the Division of General Medicine at Grady Memorial Hospital.
The Division has expanded to more than double its size in the past
five years and will continue to expand slowly in future years as additional
patient-care responsibilities are added.
