Department of Family Preventive Medicine
  • In January 1994, Emory's Department of
    Community and Preventive Medicine became the
    Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, a
    change reflecting Emory's commitment to primary
    care. Under its chair, Lawrence J. Lutz, MD,
    MSPH, the department has developed top-level
    programs in patient care, training, and research
    in primary care.

the department's other divisions, which include
Community Medicine, Preventive Medicine, and the
Physician Assistant Program.

The Community Medicine Division provides
outpatient care to underserved populations in
four neighborhood health centers that are
satellites of Grady Memorial Hospital. Residents
in the Family Medicine Program often utilize

Division of Preventive Medicine
Emory's Preventive Medicine Residency Program is
designed for physicians who already have
completed a residency in another field.
Residents enroll for a Masters in Public Health
and participate in programs in health care
administration, information technology, and
preventive medicine research. Faculty in the
Preventive Medicine division have a close working
relationship with scientists in the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, with whom they
collaborate frequently in research. Specific
research projects currently supported by federal
grants include central obesity and risk for heart
disease, the Women's Health Initiative,
transmission dynamics of HIV, the effectiveness
of antiviral therapy for HIV, and medical
information management.

Physician Assistant Program
This 28-month masters-level program accepts 50
new students each year and focuses on the role of
physician assistants in providing medical care to
those in rural and underserved areas. PA
students rotate on the family medicine service
and in the family medicine centers, where
residents play a part in their education.
Several graduates of the program staff the
clinics and are vital to the education of our
Family Medicine residents.
