Internal Medicine Internal medicine residents are involved in primary patient care as well as subspecialty medicine rotations. Involvement in a university teaching program located in a community hospital provides a wide variety of learning experiences. Research opportunities are available to residents and students, with faculty always willing to provide guidance. The internal medicine residency training program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Residents gain experience in all areas of obstetrics and gynecology through progressive increase in responsibilities with supervision of faculty.
Private physicians contribute substantially to resident education.
Excellent inpatient facilities, administrative support, and the talents and cooperation of faculty and private physicians maintain a strong successful residency education program. Pediatrics Mercer University School of Medicine and The Medical Center of Central Georgia were approved in 1994 to begin a residency training program in pediatrics. The program began accepting residents in 1995, with the intent to fill with four residents at each of three years of training. Some pediatricians in rural areas serve as teaching faculty by precepting residents on office rotations. While a resident s practice choice cannot be dictated, it is a primary goal of the program to train general pediatricians who will meet the need for pediatricians in our state.
