Where Passion Meets Purpose
The Georgia South Family Medicine Residency Program, established in 2016 by Colquitt Regional Medical Center, is an effort to address physician shortages in underserved areas, particularly in South Georgia. It was the first new residency program in the region in over 20 years. In 2022, Georgia South launched the Psychiatry residency program to meet a growing need for mental healthcare professionals. Since inception, we remain committed to finding physicians with a passion for serving rural communities.
Rapid changes in graduate medical education respond to a variety of forces, including healthcare demands from the public, new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and changes in certification requirements. Working with our clinical affiliates and program administration, we strive to meet the demands of this changing landscape. We use diverse training opportunities available throughout our region to offer dynamic programs that prepare residents for a lifetime of leadership.
