Mentoring
Residents will find that Emory's Primary Care Residency Program is a learner-centered one in which residents help choose the course of their curriculum, their rotations, and their mentors. Each resident will have a faculty mentor who will serve as guide and adviser to the resident throughout the program. Mentors are chosen from a pool of skilled clinicians, teachers, and researchers who have specific interest in guiding residents during their training.
Beyond fostering this special one-on-one bond, the program facilitates meaningful interpersonal relationships among residents and between residents and faculty. Collegiality and camaraderie are integral to the kind of support system that any physician-in-training needs. To that end, the program will provide opportunities for faculty and residents to interact, including journal clubs, guest lectures, dinner parties in faculty homes, book review sessions, ethics discussions, barbecues, and other special events.
