Community-based training gives you a unique opportunity to experience health care in a real world setting and Southwest GA is fortunate to have an outstanding network of clinical sites and faculty ready to teach you!
Please be sure to prepare for your rotation in Southwest GA by examining the links for your respective clinical site. Each hospital in our region has a credentialing process that must be strictly adhered to before beginning your rotation. It is your responsibility to get all paperwork completed in a timely manner. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the SOWEGA-AHEC center staff listed below.
- For rotations in the Albany area, you will need to come to the SOWEGA-AHEC office to complete the necessary forms on the first day of your rotation.
- When you rotate at South Georgia Surgical Associates in Thomasville, you will need to complete and return to SOWEGA-AHEC the John D.

Contact SOWEGA-AHEC if you cannot access these forms or if you would like to have the forms mailed or faxed to you.
- In Tifton, you will need to see Harriett Lawrence in the Medical Staffing office at Tift Regional Medical Center on your first day of clinicals to complete the necessary paperwork.
