The NGMC Primary Care Track Residency program is very closely aligned with the Northeast Georgia Health System Mission, and Values. 

Primary Care Track Mission Statement

We will be a vibrant community-based residency training program, intentionally grounded in the core values of the sponsoring institution: 

  • Respectful Compassion
    Residents acknowledge and embrace their unique and influential role in patient care, impacting the most sacred moments in life. 
  • Passion for Excellence
    As both learners and leaders, residents are in pursuit of continuous improvement, always striving to be better tomorrow than today. 
  • Deep Interdependence
    Residents understand their significant, individual roles within the total care team, with a full appreciation that they cannot do their job without the support of others.
  • Responsible Stewardship
    Residents recognize their accountability in the value of care delivered to a patient, with a focus on both quality and cost. Resource decisions residents make today influence the organization’s ability to invest in tomorrow’s future.
