Pediatric Hospitalist Fellowship Program
Welcome to Emory's Pediatric Hospitalist Fellowship Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
The Hospitalist program at Egleston was started by Joseph A Snitzer, III, in 1983. The original members were Joe Snitzer, Gerald Reisman, and Jackie Galloway. Dr. George Brumley was the Department Chair of Emory Pediatric Care Foundation (Emory-Children’s Center) at the time. It is one of only six pediatric hospitalist fellowship programs in the nation.
The three team members set out to build a team of physicians now called the Hospitalist, to aid and relieve the primary care physicians of inpatient care and hospital rounds. The other main focus of the team was the bedside teaching of the Pediatric Residents and the Emory University Medical Students. The other role was to admit and manage patients of pediatric sub-specialist who did not have adequate manpower to have admissions on their service but could act as consultants. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is one of the few hospitals in the area that has a full-time Pediatric Hospitalist program.

The Hospitalist Fellowship program was started 2006 and is under the Direction of David Lloyd, MD. It offers a one-year training for specialized care of hospitalized children.
The hospitalist group has grown from the original three to a team of ten. Dr. Snitzer is still part of the 10 physicians that now make up the Hospitalist Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. All members of the hospitalist group at Egleston have faculty appointments in the Emory Department of Pediatrics.

The Mission of the Pediatric Hospitalist Fellowship
The mission of the Pediatric Hospitalist is to provide excellent patient care. Excellent patient care leads to important questions that arise at the bedside, from which clinical pediatric research adds growth. This desire for excellence also drives us to teach residents, fellows, physician peers, nurses, and/or other medical personnel in order to maintain the highest standards of patient care.
The Goals for the Fellowship Program
The goal of the fellowship in Pediatric Hospitalist medicine is to train board certified pediatricians to become academic pediatric Hospitalists. Fellows should be stimulated by a desire to provide excellent patient care as a first priority, to develop a knowledge base to continue to perform relevant clinical and/or basic science research, and to become excellent teachers of medical students, residents, ancillary personnel, and future fellows. The pediatric fellowship is designed to provide opportunities to attain all these goals as well as to nurture future fellows.
