Piedmont Columbus Regional FMRP
There are numerous factors that contribute to the decision regarding where to train for your Family Medicine residency experience and, quite possibly, where you’ll practice. I sincerely feel Columbus, Georgia has much to offer, not only as a quality training experience, but also for quality of life and potential practice site.
Our 413-bed tertiary care hospital, Piedmont Columbus Regional Midtown Campus, is a regional referral center for a 50-mile radius in west central Georgia. Because our stand-alone residency training program is the only physician-training program in the hospital, our residents get solid, hands-on training, from neonatology through geriatrics and nursing home care. Our Family Physician faculty, combined with numerous specialist faculty members, and many community preceptors, ensure appropriate supervision and independence as a resident matures in the program.
There are 85 Family Physician graduates on the medical staff at Piedmont Columbus Regional Midtown Campus, and they provide the bulk of the primary care in the Columbus area. Columbus has been identified as one of the healthiest economic areas in Georgia and one of the leading growth areas in the country. With the growth projected here, practice opportunities should be plentiful as you graduate.
