Since it’s founding in 1982, Mercer University School of Medicine has delivered on its promise to educate physicians and health professionals to meet the primary care and health care needs of rural Georgia. Our MD program leads the state in training physicians in Georgia, with the most students who choose to complete residency in Georgia and who choose to practice medicine in Georgia. We also lead the state in training primary care physicians, with over 80% of our graduates practicing in core specialties. MUSM is proud of the important work our alumni do for Georgia and beyond.
