The NGMC Primary Care Track Residency program is very closely aligned with the Northeast Georgia Health System Mission, and Values.
Primary Care Track Mission Statement
We will be a vibrant community-based residency training program, intentionally grounded in the core values of the sponsoring institution:
- Respectful Compassion

As both learners and leaders, residents are in pursuit of continuous improvement, always striving to be better tomorrow than today. - Deep Interdependence
Residents understand their significant, individual roles within the total care team, with a full appreciation that they cannot do their job without the support of others. - Responsible Stewardship
