Internal Medicine Residency Program

Our Mission

The mission of the MCG Internal Medicine Residency Program is to train compassionate, competent physicians who are committed to serving the people of Georgia through high-quality, ethical, and cost-effective patient care. Our goal is to prepare residents for fellowship or independent practice while fostering a strong sense of responsibility to meet the healthcare needs of our state. 

This mission is realized through excellence in teaching, discovery, clinical care, and service. Residents care for individuals across Georgia with diverse disease states and from varied socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds in both inpatient and ambulatory settings. We promote a culture of quality care, patient safety, collegiality, and physician well-being. Our program inspires curiosity and inquiry while providing the tools for professional and personal success, emphasizing the lifelong learning essential to the vocation of medicine and to advancing healthcare in Georgia.
