Program Identity & Fit

A new three-year, ACGME-accredited family medicine residency sponsored by Doctors Hospital of Augusta, an HCA Healthcare facility in Augusta, Georgia, in academic affiliation with Mercer University School of Medicine. The complement is four residents per year, twelve in total, with the inaugural class beginning in July 2026. Residents receive protected educational time for weekly didactic conferences, and the program describes faculty strength in geriatric care and inpatient medicine. Scholarly activity is supported through the sponsoring system's graduate medical education research resources rather than a program-specific research track.

Who it fits
An applicant seeking broad community hospital training in a newly launched program that carries a medical school affiliation.
Research intensity
Low; the program page points to system-level scholarly resources but states no program research requirement or output.
Career orientation
Primary Care / Community Practice.
Important
Applicants must have passed USMLE or COMLEX Level 1, must have a Step 2 or Level 2 result before being considered for interview, and at least one letter of recommendation is preferred from a family medicine physician.
