The program has been designed to mimic this broad scope by giving trainees access to mentors with expertise in basic science, translational, and clinical research, and by providing research opportunities that span the entire age range of critical illness, from neonates to geriatrics.

The multidisciplinary nature of critical care research will be reflected in the diversity of the program's faculty mentors, who will come from the Emory departments of surgery, medicine, pediatrics, and biomedical informatrics, and will possess well-established records of collaboration in research and training.
