Emory
School of Medicine House Staff Assistant Program
- The House Staff Assistant
program is unique in that it affords students interested in the
field of medicine the opportunity to gain first-hand exposure into
the daily routine of the physician. Students will be witness to
all aspects of this routine as they will become an integral part
of the medical team, consisting of attending physicians, resident
physicians, and medical students. By accompanying physicians on
their daily rounds within the hospital, House Staff Assistants will
gain a more comprehensive outlook on the behind the scenes functioning
of the hospital and residency program. Students will be able to
rotate within three hospitals, Emory University, Crawford Long,
and Grady Memorial Hospital. From this exposure, the student will
be able to evaluate the different health care environments within
the three hospitals, including the different patient populations
as well as the various physician to patient ratios." - House
