In partnership with Mercer University School of Medicine, SGMC Health launched its Transitional Year Residency program with approval from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 2024.
This program offers a one-year, broad-based clinical curriculum designed for residents pursuing advanced specialties such as anesthesiology, dermatology, radiology, and more. It provides exposure to internal medicine, emergency medicine, family medicine, critical care, and other key disciplines, equipping residents with strong clinical skills and leadership capabilities.
Residents are doctors who have completed medical school, have earned a degree such as an M.D. or D.O., and practice under the direct supervision of an “attending,” or senior physician. Physicians complete residencies so that they can specialize and become board-certified or board-eligible in a particular field.
