Morehouse School of Medicine Residency Programs

Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) offers general residency programs in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Public Health and Preventive Medicine and General Surgery. All MSM programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). MSM has several educational affiliates in and around the exciting Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area. These programs provide ample 'hands-on' experiences and the teaching support of an award-winning faculty.

As the "sponsoring institution" MSM adheres to the "Institutional Requirements" of The Essentials of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME, Current Edition). MSM assigns the responsibility for monitoring residency education to its Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC). MSM programs participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and are listed in the AMA Graduate Medical Education Directory and the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access System (FREIDA). MSM provides a competitive salary and benefits package for its residents.

The mission of Morehouse School of Medicine to serve the underserved through education, scholarly activities, clinical service and community advocacy is incorporated in the curriculum of each residency program. Seventy (70) percent of our residency program graduates have pursued general specialty practice. We are proud of the fact that these results transcend rhetoric in our placement of physicians in underserved areas. Second- and third-year medical students should consider these questions when deciding on a career path. Is it your goal to be just another private practitioner, or to also be an active force for change in the health and well-being of this nation? How will health policies and practices change the approaches made toward the clinical treatment of the underserved? How can you effect positive change in health care?

Morehouse School of Medicine is committed to its history and tradition of leadership in patient-centered teaching and service to the underserved.
