Neurology Residency Program

The Neurology Residency Program at the Medical College of Georgia and Wellstar MCG Health System aims to shape the careers of passionate young neurologists.

Our residency is based at a quaternary referral center; and our residents are exposed to a broad educational curriculum, excellent diverse patient care opportunities, and innovative neuroscience and translational research.

FRIEDA Program Listing

Our program is a categorical four-year program. Currently, we recruit six adult neurology residents annually. We also recruit one pediatric neurology resident every other year.

Our residents rotate at three sites:

  • The Medical College of Georgia, at the Augusta University Medical Center & Clinics
  • Charlie Norwood VA Hospital (which is physically linked to the Augusta University Medical Center via an indoor sky bridge)
  • The Medical College of Georgia, Children’s Hospital of Georgia (CHOG)

Our Neurology Faculty

Our program is often described as being infectious because of its collegial atmosphere as many of our attending physicians have trained at our facility at some point in their careers and have returned here to practice.
