Residency

The Residency Program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The program holds formal affiliations with the Medical College of Georgia and Mercer University.

The Southwest Georgia Family Medicine Residency Program is the only such program in Georgia with a primary mission to train family physicians to practice in rural Southwest Georgia. As the number of doctors increases in our region, the quality of life and health status improves dramatically in our community. The need for medical services in this rural region is great. The region has high incidences of cancer, heart attack, stroke and other diseases, and the need for medical and outreach services is tremendous.
