Mercer university internal medicine residency program

Because we are located near the main campus of Mercer, there are ample opportunities and support for clinical research. Our residents have presented and won at state and national meetings and have had numerous articles published. Our main strengths are our residents, faculty, and staff. We are a small program where you will be a NAME and not a number. We want to get to know you and your family and we consider ourselves a family. I have been in graduate medical education for over 20 years and I believe that the key to a good program is to involve the residents.

Our program is constantly evolving due to the input provided by our residents.

I am ecstatic about the opportunities MUSM has given me as a first generation student, and I look forward to completing more work that encompasses their mission to service rural and underserved communities.

Mercer has changed me in that it has made me a better teammate than I could have ever become otherwise. We are tasked with working together from the very beginning of our medical school journey, and it has made me a better collaborator for my future as a member of a larger healthcare team.

This school has taught me the valuable skill of seeking out other perspectives so that I can go even further in my learning. The School of Medicine at Mercer University has motivated and encouraged me to become a more active member of the community while developing my leadership skills.

The university continuously provides opportunities to get involved with our neighbors by hosting various pop-up clinics and mentorship programs. Because of Mercer, I will continue to be an active community member wherever I practice medicine. Morgan Joseph, 3rd Year Medical Student.
