School Info

Today, there are three campuses and five affiliated clinical partners, the Medical Center, Navicent Health; Memorial University Medical Center; Columbus Regional and St. Francis Hospital (learn more by visiting Academic Clinical Partners). More than 60 percent of Mercer graduates currently practice in the state of Georgia, and of those, more than 80 percent are practicing in rural or medically underserved areas of Georgia.
Curriculum
The Mercer education program is a competency based, integrated, clinically relevant problem-based curriculum that includes early longitudinal clinical skills and community medicine experiences. Embedded in the curriculum are opportunities for early patient care experiences. Following the completion of core clinical clerkships in family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, surgery, Ob/Gyn and psychiatry; students explore a variety of 4th year elective opportunities which are designed to further develop patient management, clinical reasoning and diagnostic skills in preparation for entry into residency. Mercer's rigorous, engaging and collaborative academic environment fosters the development of community responsive health care leaders.
Facilities
The partnership of The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) and the Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM), which began with the construction of MUSM in 1982, has led to a pattern of excellence in graduate medical education. The MUSM Educational Center at MCCG, constructed in 1982, provides space for medical education activities, and contains the Office of the MUSM Associate Dean for Graduate and Continuing Medical Education/MCCG Director of Medical Education. For coordination between MCCG and MUSM, the MCCG Medical Director also serves as MUSM Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs. With this degree of cooperation, a strong university medical center environment has been established that has benefited medical students, residency programs and the MUSM faculty, both clinical and basic science.
