Celebrate Resident Success

The Medical College of Georgia (MCG) and the department of Medicine recognize the importance of resident success.

We are committed to recruiting and training a diverse group of physicians to our residency program.

At the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Department of Medicine, we are committed to recruiting and training physicians from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Augusta University and the health system are dedicated to recognizing and engaging individual differences that contribute to more effective and compassionate health care. Learners have access to numerous opportunities that support both personal wellbeing and the health of the communities they serve.

We recognize the importance of embracing our differences and creating an academic environment rooted in transparency, understanding, and empowerment. By nurturing these values, we aim to educate physicians who are not only skilled and knowledgeable but also empathetic and capable of providing exceptional care to all patients. Ultimately, we are committed to improving access to quality healthcare and ensuring that every individual receives the care they need, regardless of their background or circumstances.
