Internal Medicine Residency Program

The MCG Internal Medicine program was fully accredited in 2002 by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. We are committed to the development of outstanding physicians according to the six core competencies of patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning, communication, professionalism, and systems-based practice. With 18 categorical and 10 preliminary residents per year, we are a moderate sized program allowing for personalized opportunities for residents with ambitious goals. With the aim of developing future leaders in medicine, our faculty and staff foster attitudes, skills, and habits of excellence amongst the residents, both individually and collectively. A unique combination of longitudinal mentorship, resident collegiality, and patient-centered care mark the program as one moving resolutely into the forefront of 21st century medicine.

Residents rotate on ward services, consult services, and in the ER at two teaching hospitals: the Medical College of Georgia and the Charlie Norwood Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center.

In addition, weekly general medicine continuity clinics and the opportunity to pursue clinics in each Subspecialty provide residents with exposure to all aspects of Internal Medicine during their time at MCG.

Mission Statement: The mission of the Department of Medicine residency program is to train and produce outstanding clinicians able to accept their choice of subspecialty fellowship or one of the broad range of practice opportunities afforded a general internist. This mission is accomplished through rigorous learner-centered education based on outstanding patient care experience, leadership development, and scholastic achievement.
