Why study at NGMC?

Northeast Georgia Health System provides a unique opportunity for fellowship training. Our community-based hospital system serves over one million people in 19 counties across northeast Georgia.

Our fellowship program is designed to offer a comprehensive training program that combines experience with diverse inpatient and outpatient populations, simulation training, case-based learning and an extensive didactic curriculum. Fellows are encouraged to pursue scholarship and research to contribute to the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine. At the end of the three-year fellowship, fellows will be board eligible in pulmonary and critical care medicine and will have the training necessary to enter careers in academic medicine or clinical practice.

We have six position to fill each year.

What is your ideal applicant?

Research is an integral part of fellowship training. Fellows will have plenty of research opportunities within the disciplines of pulmonology and critical care medicine under the supervision of a faculty research mentor and the GME research team.

Fellows interested in quality improvement or medical education will have the opportunity to participate in upper levels of training in one of the CoRE tracks according to their interest.
