Multidisciplinary collaborations increase the odds of success as dramatically as advancing technology. Here, Emory plastic surgeons and oral and maxillofacial surgeons work together to reconstruct the lower face.

Our faculty treat a wide array of patients and conditions, often offering procedures that are unavailable elsewhere in the state of Georgia.

The Emory Surgery training experience balances mentored learning with supervised independence.

Barbara Pettitt, the department's director of medical student education, says, "The students have great clinical experiences with our faculty and residents."

Felmont Eaves and Foad Nahai trained at Emory, joined the faculty, left for private practice, and now work and teach together at the Emory Aesthetic Center.

Our faculty surgeons are often at the forefront of new surgical methods and technologies, from robotic surgery to implanting fenestrated and branched endovascular grafts.

Surgical trainees and faculty work together in clinical programs that are often high volume referral services that serve diverse patient populations.

Since the establishment of the Department of Surgery in 1930, it has helped shape the Emory University School of Medicine into one of the nation's top institutions for biomedical education, research, and patient care.

For our faculty scientists, the personal connection provided by private donations can be as rewarding as receiving federal grants and industry funding.

The Department of Surgery offers various opportunities for acquiring dedicated research time to our residents.
