Three medical institutions which merged between 1898 and 1913 formed the nucleus for the Emory University School of Medicine by affiliating with the University in 1915. Today, the School of Medicine, Emory University Hospital, Crawford Long Hospital of Emory University, Yerkes Regional Primate Center, the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing and the Grace Crum Rollins School of Public Health make up the Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center, named for the family whose beneficence and foresight have made the development of the Center possible. In addition to these divisions, Center affiliates include The Emory Clinic, Grady Memorial Hospital, Henrietta Egleston Hospital for Children at Emory University, Georgia Mental Health Institute, Wesley Woods Geriatric Center of Emory University, and the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This impressive roster merely begins to describe the facilities for service, teaching and research available to students involved in the study of medicine at Emory.
Training ranges from certification programs to programs that offer master's degrees.
