The Army and civilian residents experience the same didactic curriculum and have virtually
the same clinical rotations. Army residents do rotate at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center (DDEAMC) during their EM-3 year.
We feel that the addition of the army residents enhances our program in a number of
ways. We are able to utilize the resources at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center
(DDEAMC), a major military hospital in Augusta, for external rotations. Army residents
currently rotate at DDEAMC for one month as an EM-3.

We consider applications for our residency via the Electronic Residency Application
Service (ERAS). All applicants must apply through this system. |
Yes. We have a long history of allowing our residents to moonlight and there are many
opportunities to do. To be eligible for moonlighting, a resident must exhibit excellent academic
and clinical performance and have approval from residency leadership. |
In the past, we have matched foreign medical graduates into our program. We highly
encourage foreign medical graduates to rotate in the emergency department. We only
consider applications for our residency via ERAS and will consider all applications
we receive. Foreign medical graduates must meet all MCG institutional requirements
in order to be considered, including being a U.S. citizen or possessing a J-1 Visa. |
Many of our residents pursue a career in community based Emergency Departments. We
also have a few residents who pursue a career in academics. Our program is structured
in such a way that our graduates are well-trained for any career path. There are MCG alumni working clinically throughout the United States, as well as abroad.
We will support you with whatever professional aspirations you choose to pursue. |
We have trained residents with prior experience in another specialty. Prior rotation
credit typically is not applied toward your Emergency Medicine training. |
