Faculty appointment as a Senior Associate in the Emory University School of Medicine.

Emergency Ultrasound fellows work their clinical shifts at Emory University Hospital Midtown, the Atlanta VAMC, or Emory University Hospital. There are additional teaching and scanning responsibilities at Grady Memorial Hospital, the only level I trauma center in the state of Georgia with over 150,000 visits per year. EUH is a tertiary care center with a small (40,000 ED visits/yr) census, but extremely high acuity. The admission rate exceeds 38%. Emory University Hospital Midtown sees approximately 60,000 ED patients per year, and represents a combination of community and academic practice.

Pediatric Ultrasound Fellows work at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) at Egleston and Hughes Spalding. Egleston is a free-standing quaternary care children's hospital as well as the only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma center in the stage of Georgia. It is the primary academic site for Emory Pediatrics. Hughes Spalding is a smaller free-standing children's hospital near Grady that seeks to provide high-quality pediatric care to the local community. Their combined census exceeds 100,000 visits per year.
