The First Family Medicine Residency Program in Georgia

|
 When established in 1972, the Family Medicine Residency Program at The Medical Center in Columbus, GA became the first in Georgia and one of the first in the Southeastern United States.
Today, the Family Medicine Residency Program is a fully accredited, three-year program that emphasizes development of clinical responsibility in a strong academic setting.
Along with an Osteopathic Family Medicine Residency Program for osteopathic medical students interested in pursuing graduate medical education, we offer a Transitional Year Family Medicine Residency Program.

As a Family Medicine resident, you will become part of the proud tradition of the oldest and largest Family Medicine Residency Program in the Georgia.
Our current Family Medicine Residents and Family Medicine Residency alumni are not only from the Southeast and across the United States, but include international participants as well.
