Learn medicine through early patient experiences with faculty mentorship every step of the way.
The Mercer Difference
A Healthier Georgia Begins With You
Mercer’s Doctor of Medicine program prepares students to become leaders in the field of medicine and serve rural medically-underserved communities across Georgia.
Campuses That Fit You
With five campuses across Georgia, students can find a setting that fits their goals and supports their path to becoming a physician.
Problem-Based Learning
Students learn medicine as problem-solvers, using real-world patient cases to explore diagnosis, treatment and the factors that influence overall health.
Early Clinical Experience
Clinical skills training begins early, giving students the experience and confidence needed for clinical rotations during their third year.
Learning Through Simulation
Simulation centers on every campus allow students to practice medical procedures using lifelike manikins in a safe, controlled environment.
Rural Health Initiatives
A deep commitment to rural Georgia guides the School’s education and initiatives to create healthier futures for communities across the state.
A Faster Path to Practice
Mercer’s Primary Care Accelerated Track Program allows students to earn a medical degree in three years. Students then transition into a primary care residency in family medicine, internal medicine or pediatrics, helping address Georgia’s critical physician shortage in rural, medically underserved communities.
Scholarships With Purpose
Pathways to Medicine
Our pathway programs support students from middle school through post-college with hands-on experiences that inspire future doctors and health leaders — especially those committed to rural Georgia.
