Family Medicine Residency

January 15, 2019

The Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Family Medicine Residency program is a three-year training program offering residents the full scope of training and clinical experience necessary to comprehensively manage a population of patients throughout the lifespan. In our suburban-rural, community-based program, residents will have necessary hands-on experience directing care to prevent disease and become experts in chronic disease management.

During the 36 month training, resident physicians build and manage a panel of patients across the lifespan. From delivering babies and performing newborn care to taking care of a critically ill senior and continuing that relationship in the nursing home, family medicine is there delivering the right care at the right time.

Continuity is the greatest teacher you will ever have, and this program based on the “clinic first” model delivers. The relationships you have with your patients help improve their outcomes, and the relationships you have with the faculty improve your training. We mentor and equip you with a diverse skill set to ensure that you are both competent and confident in your future work.

What makes us different:

Because we serve patients from 19 counties across northeast Georgia, Family Medicine residents will receive a wide range of training that will enable them to practice confidently in any setting, including rural, suburban or international.
