Letter from Chair and Director
Dear Residency Applicant, We want to personally welcome you to your residency interview day here at Emory University. We are excited to have you spend time with us today. We are immensely proud of the educational tradition that has developed over the years within the J. Willis Hurst Internal Medicine Residency Training Program and we want you to enjoy your time with us while you get to know some of our residents, teaching faculty and the residency leadership. We know you will get a sense of the culture of excellence that makes Emory such an amazing place to train. Every year we continue to attract the best and the brightest medical students from all over the world to continue their personal journey into clinical medicine. We have several outstanding educational attributes that we wish to showcase for you today. To begin, Emory residents serve an incredibly diverse set of patients within our multi-hospital training program. Their work traverses the divide from the community to academic to the veterans population. Trainees learn and practice in dynamic academic, public and government-based healthcare systems that employ three of the most highly integrated electronic healthcare record systems (CPRS, Cerner and EPIC). Most importantly, they learn from and train with the best teaching faculty in the world. All of our faculty are talented individual professionals committed to delivering high quality teaching, exceptional patient care and cutting edge research. We encourage you to engage our residents and faculty, ask questions about their training experience and most importantly envision how residency training at Emory might be the perfect fit for your next educational experience.

Sincerely,

Lorenzo Di Francesco, MD, FACP Associate Professor of Medicine Program Director

Chair R. Wayne Alexander, MD, PhD
Robert Wayne Alexander was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 19, 1941. He has become internationally known for his research in vascular biology, hypertension and atherosclerosis, his supervision of the research of numerous individuals who have created nationally recognized teaching programs, his superb administrative ability, and his talent as a sensitive, compassionate clinician. He has mentored six chiefs of Cardiology, two chairs of Medicine, one vice president for Health Affairs, and a chair of Cell Biology, a university Provost, and the CEO of a biotechnology company. Alexander graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1962. He received his M.S. degree from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1967, and his Ph.D. from Emory in 1968. During those years, he also attended the Saturday Morning Clinical Cardiology Conference given by Emory faculty at Grady Memorial Hospital. He graduated from Duke University School of Medicine in 1969 and remained there for his internship under James Wyngaarden. He completed his residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. He returned to Duke to complete his cardiology fellowship. He served his country from 1971 to 1974 by entering the United States Public Health Service. He became Staff Associate (Senior Surgeon) at the Heart and Lung Institute where he was assigned to the Experimental Therapeutics Branch of the Institute. Alexander joined the Harvard faculty at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1976 and became Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard in 1982. He returned to Emory University in Atlanta in 1988 as the R. Bruce Logue Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Cardiology. Under his direction the division continued to thrive. He retained all of Emory’s large cardiology faculty and recruited additional topflight researchers including Dr. David Harrison, Dr. Marshall Runge, Dr. Patrick Delafontaine, Dr. Brad Berk, Dr. Russell Medford, Dr. Kathy Griendling and R. Wayne Alexander, MD, PhD Bruce Logue Professor and Chair Dr. Robert Taylor. They were all successful and the research output of the (1999-Present) division soared. In 1999 he was tapped to Chair the Department of Medicine of Emory University School of Medicine. He applied his tremendous administrative talent to organizing the department into an internationally recognized “institution”. He continued much of his own research, and became sought after as an international speaker. Alexander’s research began when he was studying for his Ph.D. at Emory University in the early sixties. He has published more than 250 scientific publications and has edited 10 books. He has contributed substantially to the development of the field of vascular biology from basic fundamental observations to clinical applications including drug development. He was selected to become one of the editors and contributors for Hurst’s The Heart. He has directly supervised 25 postdoctoral fellows. Most of them are currently well known in academic cardiology and hold leadership positions in major institutions.

These components represent the program’s longitudinal curriculum, which in addition to rotational experiences, provides critical knowledge and skills for physician development.

Curriculum Innovations

Observed Standardized Patient Evaluation

All interns are evaluated in their ability to evaluate standardized patients with an emphasis on high level history taking and focused physical examination skills as well as their ability to synthesize cases. In addition, all interns have curriculum to teach them how to communicate complex information (end of life, bad news etc…) and are also assessed in their abilities to communicate with standardized patients by core faculty.

Patient Safety & Quality Improvement

The Department of Medicine has an integrated curriculum to teach residents about patient safety and quality improvement annually. We have an advanced “Performance Improvement” Curriculum that is focused in the continuity clinic to allow our residents to learn and acquire quality improvement skills and participate in yearly clinic based performance improvement projects that emphasize their learning and allow them to showcase positive system changes that impact their patients.

Evidence-Based Medicine

EBM principles are integrated into the residents’ ambulatory curriculum over the course of the academic year. The >20-hour curriculum during the intern year emphasizes asking key questions, sysetmatically searching the medical literature and appraising published studies. Residents learn how to evaluate all the major articles: RCT, systematic review, guidelines, diagnosis and prognostic articles. They showcase their EBM skills during their PGY-2 Journal Club assignment. Senior Resident Grand Rounds is the culmination of EBM residency curriculum for individual residents.

Transitions of Care

The “Transitions of Care” Curriculum emphasizes and teaches methods of communicating at all the patient care transitions points including admission, daily handovers and discharges. We have deployed standardized handover processes, electronic signouts and discharge templates within our 4 hospital system/3 EMR based system to improve our patient care processes.

Scholarship/Research

We support our residents in their scholarship and research efforts. All residents have 3 “scholarship/research” months with minimal clinical activities. We have an integrated “How To Do Research in Residency” Curriculum placed in the 1st year ambulatory months and require all our residents to be “CITI certified” to conduct clinical research. In addition, we have developed personalized “Studio Consultation” sessions in conjunction with the Atlanta Clinical & Translational Science Institute to foster the success of our residents in their research.

1st Year Resident simulating procedures during 2011 Residency Program orientation

Procedural Simulation

We utilize the School of Medicine’s simulation laboratory to teach our interns invasive procedural techniques and the use of ultrasound technology during intern orientation.

EKG Interpretation

Teaching & Leadership

Our program emphasizes both teaching and leadership skills development with a focus on developing our junior residents through workshops temporally timed at the transition from internship to supervising upper-level resident.

All interns are assessed on their basic EKG interpretation skills and are part of an EKG interpretation curriculum that begins during orientation. During the intern cardiology month, systematic EKG reading techniques and interpretation skills are developed. All interns are required to successfully pass an EKG skills test.

12

In addition to our structured educational curriculum, we have developed additional voluntary educational programs that allow our residents to gain expertise in a variety of areas. We have created “Distinctions” programs for our residents that choose to participate and get involved above and beyond their residency training. All of our Distinctions programs have been crafted and developed by key faculty members in the Department of Medicine. These leaders serve as mentors and advisors to the residents and facilitate their success in positively navigating these specialized programs. Each of these programs is structured to allow a resident to achieve “Distinctions” in usually a one year or more commitment. Residents that successfully achieve their Distinctions are awarded special recognition at the PGY-3 graduation.

Categorical Track
The primary goal of the categorical track at Emory is to produce outstanding internists, many of whom will enter professional careers in general internal medicine, hospital medicine or research as well as prepare others for further subspecialty medicine fellowship training. The approach to our residents gaining the necessary clinical skills and scholarship during residency is achieved through a standardized set of experiential clinical rotations over the 36 months; as well as frequent and timely educational and scholarly mentoring by our outstanding residency leadership and clinical faculty. There have been thousands of graduates from the Categorical track who are currently practicing across the country and around the world in a variety of diverse careers spanning academic practice, community practice, hospital medicine, international health, research and subspecialty practices in all the major medicine subspecialties.

Primary Care Track
The goal of the primary track at Emory is to produce outstanding general internists, preparing for professional careers in clinical practice, as clinician-educators, or in research. The approach to learning in the primary care track is one of collaboration. With the family feel of a smaller academic program within a larger university program, the primary care residents rotate through their ambulatory months together as a class, learning from each other, and getting to know each other very well. A rigorous, standardized curriculum shared with the categorical track is supplemented with curriculum in health policy, social determinants of health, business of medicine, and several other topics. There have been over 100 graduates from the primary care track who are currently practicing across the country and internationally in diverse careers spanning private practice, academic faculty, geriatric or public health fellowship.

The goal of the ambulatory block rotation is to provide concentrated experience in outpatient general medicine complimented by experiences in medical and non-medical specialties. Categorical residents have 5 ambulatory blocks over their residency. Categorical Track Ambulatory Months PGY-1 2 months PGY-2 2 months PGY-3 1 month

The typical schedule for 4 of these months is as follows: Continuity Clinic: Increases from ½ day per week to four ½ days per week during ambulatory block. In addition, an administrative ½ day provides interns with time to manage their patients outside of clinic and focus on practice skills as part of our patientcentered medical home such as working in multidisciplinary teams and running patient group visits. Ambulatory Conference: One ½ day per week is dedicated to a planned curriculum of interactive workshops that address skills, knowledge, and attitudes relevant to outpatient medicine. The conferences cover specific topics such as preventive medicine, episodic illnesses, and management of chronic diseases as well as topics such as critical appraisal of the literature, breaking bad news, clear health communication, medical ethics, conducting research, and transitions of care. Also, the Department Chair and Program Directors use this time to have a monthly meeting with each group on the ambulatory block to discuss programmatic issues affecting the residents’. Other Clinical Experiences: The remaining four ½ days per week include time in: Medical & Non-Medical Subspecialty and Procedure Clinics: Housestaff may request specific clinics related to their interests or future career directions through the Ambulatory Associate Program Director. One ambulatory block month in the PGY 2 year is used as subspecialty focus month to fulfill programmatic requirements. The typical schedule for this month is four ½ days of continuity clinic, ½ day of conference, ½ day of administrative time, and four ½ days of one outpatient subspecialty.

Ambulatory Experience
AMBULATORY BLOCK ROTATION FOR PRIMARY CARE RESIDENTS:
Other Activities Regular Meetings With Program Leadership: During each ambulatory block month, Dr. Higgins meets with the residents to discuss issues affecting the internal medicine/primary care track. Either over breakfast or lunch, residents discuss both individual and group topics of importance relative to their learning goals and their experiences. In addition there are individual, formal, semiannual meetings to review progress, set learning goals, and review career plans. Social Events – During the primary care residents’ ambulatory block months, there are scheduled social events. Both faculty and residents attend these activities usually hosted by one of the internal medicine faculty. Events in the past have ranged from whitewater rafting to potluck dinners to North Georgia hiking. Journal Club – Second year residents organize a bimonthly potluck journal club, often on ambulatory care issues, at someone’s home, to which all three classes are invited. Guest faculty are also invited to participate. During all three years, primary care residents rotate together as a class on their respective ambulatory block months. Primary care residents have 8 ambulatory blocks over their residency. Primary Care Track Ambulatory Months PGY-1 3 months PGY-2 3 months PGY-3 2 months

PGY-1 residents have ambulatory care in July, January, and May. PGY-2 residents have ambulatory care in August, January, and April or May. PGY-3 residents have 2 months in September and April. During months where different PGY classes overlap, activities are planned to ensure a uniform curriculum and to promote camaraderie between classes. Primary care residents use their ambulatory block months to tailor learning to their specific career goals. In addition to exploring all the fields of internal medicine, residents may concentrate their learning (e.g., women’s health or sports medicine), develop curricular projects, or pursue internal medicine research. Many residents have used this time to gain additional skill sets that enhance both their own knowledge base as well as their career marketability. The primary care ambulatory blocks follow the same structure as the categorical ambulatory blocks (see previous page). Additional features of the primary care curriculum include: Additional Ambulatory Conferences Primary care residents receive additional curriculum in areas such as: • Health Policy and Advocacy • Quality Improvement • Scholarship in Medicine • Social Determinants of Health Resident-Led Conferences • Primary Care Morning Report • Journal Club • Senior Resident-Led Talks Special Activities • Participation in a national medical meeting: Primary care residents during their second year are funded to attend the Society of General Internal Medicine National Meeting. This allows for interaction and fellowship with other residents and faculty committed to academic general internal medicine careers. Residents submit research abstracts, clinical vignettes, and workshops and, in the past, have both presented and won awards for their work. • Community Service: On ambulatory block months, residents participate in both individual and group service activities. Activities have ranged from teaching a medical topic at a local elementary school to preparing meals for home bound elderly.

PGY 1 2 3 Monthly $4,101 $4,330 $4,500 Annual $49,221 $51,969 $54,010

HEALTH CARE PLANS

Residents have the option to choose either Aetna POS Plus or Aetna POS value. Both plans offer coverage levels for the following: resident only, resident & spouse, resident & children, and family. Residents with spouse, children, or family coverage pay the premiums for their family's coverage on a pre-tax basis. An additional per month medical charge will be added to an employee’s medical plan contribution if their covered spouse has access to group health insurance coverage through their employer.

As a resident, you are eligible for participation in the Aetna Traditional Dental (PPO) plan or the Aetna Dental Management Organization (DOM) plan. The PPO plan is a traditional dental plan where you pay for services through co-insurance. Services received by either In- or Out-of-Network providers are covered by the plan at 100% up to reasonable and customary: oral examinations, routine cleanings and polishing, fluoride, sealants (permanent molars only), full mouth series X-rays, and space maintainers. The DMO is a managed care plan that contracts with a list of providers at a set fee schedule. This plan offers a limited network of dentists with low member contributions, no deductible and low out-of-pocket co-pays.

DENTAL PLAN

These accounts are set up to accumulate money on a before-tax basis to pay eligible out-of-pocket health/dental care and dependent care expenses. There are annual minimum and maximum contribution amounts.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

Living in Atlanta
WHERE TO LIVE IN ATLANTA?
The Atlanta metropolitan area has a variety of housing options. Whether your tastes are downtown dwellings, neighborhood nesting’s, or country comforts, our city has it all. Since you will be working at four different hospitals, location is key. Two of the hospitals, Grady and Emory Midtown are located in downtown/midtown Atlanta and the other two, Emory and the VA are located northeast of downtown. The longest commute from hospital to hospital is just under 8 miles and 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. The majority of our residents live in either the Midtown/Virginia Highlands area or in Decatur. While expensive, the Midtown/Virginia Highlands area is very cosmopolitan, artsy, and young, and there is a lot of nightlife, eateries and shopping. This area is very close to Grady and Emory Midtown hospitals. Decatur is closer to the Emory and VA hospitals and is not quite as urban and fast-paced as the midtown area. Still, there are plenty of eateries, bars and shops in the area.
