“GMC will provide internal medicine residents with a robust experience based on thriving cardiology and stroke programs, and the high-volume emergency department that cares for nearly 140,000 patients yearly,” said Kimberly Bates, MD, GMC’s director of the internal medicine residency for the Graduate Medical Education Program. “Perspective candidates will also find Gwinnett’s cultural diversity attractive as a diverse patient base is requisite when establishing a solid medical foundation among residents.”
As part of the internal medicine program, residents will be guided through the extensive curriculum of general internal medicine, highlighting the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases.
“It’s well documented that physicians remain in the community where they complete their residency; the greater north metro stands to benefit from this program as it will help address the severe primary care physician shortage in Georgia,” said Phil Wolfe, GMC’s president and CEO.
GMC’s internal medicine residency program is affiliated with the Georgia Campus of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and The Georgia Regents University/The University of Georgia Medical Partnership in Athens.
