In partnership with Mercer University School of Medicine, SGMC Health launched its Internal Medicine Residency program with approval from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 2021.
Residents are doctors who have completed medical school, have earned a degree such as an M.D. or D.O., and practice under the direct supervision of an “attending,” or senior physician. Physicians complete residencies so that they can specialize and become board-certified or board-eligible in a particular field.
