Welcome to NGMC GME

Welcome from Dr. Brown!

My name is Dr. Donna Brown. I am the executive director and interim designated institutional official for Medical Education at Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC). Thank you for your interest in residency and fellowship training in our system. This is an exciting step in your academic and medical career.

Being the first new position hired for the Office of GME in 2017, it’s been incredible to witness and be part of our growth and momentum. We are now one of the largest GME programs in the state of Georgia!

As you learn more about us, you’ll notice that our health system prides itself on four core values, all of which help us achieve our mission of improving the health of our community in all we do. These values shape the daily interactions between our physicians, staff, volunteers, board members, patients and their loved ones.

Our core values are:

1. Respectful Compassion – I impact life’s most sacred moments
2. Responsible Stewardship – What I do today ensures tomorrow
3. Deep Interdependence – I can’t do my job without you
4. Passion for Excellence – I bring my best every day.

Our commitment is to develop and train the next generation of physician leaders through a unique and culture-driven curriculum. Additionally, beyond the clinical excellence, we have intentionally built resources into our program to enhance your learning at all levels, including two medical librarians, a wellness team, a robust research team and two award winning simulation centers.

I welcome you to take the time to explore our programs and to find out about living in Gainesville – ranked as the Top Small Metro Area in Georgia and in the Nation for Best-Performing Small Metros by the Milken Institute Report!

We look forward to seeing you!
