Clinical Faculty

At Mercer University School of Medicine, our mission is to educate physicians and health professionals to meet the primary care and healthcare needs of rural and medically underserved areas of Georgia. We are committed to our mission and creating access to high-quality healthcare for Georgians delivered with skill, compassion and the highest level of integrity. The example set by our clinical faculty partners paves the way for our future Georgia doctors to fulfill our mission.
