Train in an environment with a deep commitment to delivering high-quality, safe, and patient-centered care.
Thank you for your interest in the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Wellstar Paulding Medical Center.
The mission of our program is to train physicians who will deliver exceptional, compassionate, and evidence-based worldclass health care to the community. Guided by the motto “Neighbors caring for neighbors”, Wellstar Paulding Medical Center is deeply committed to delivering high-quality, safe, and patient-centered care.
Residents will train in a supportive educational environment that emphasizes academic rigor, clinical excellence, scholarly inquiry, community engagement, and a commitment to lifelong learning. Our faculty is committed to your success. Upon residency completion, our graduates will be well-prepared for diverse careers in internal medicine.
We look forward to welcoming our inaugural class of 10 interns in July 2027.
To eliminate conflicts between inpatient and outpatient education, the curriculum is structured in a block of 4 weeks of inpatient rotations followed by 2 weeks of ambulatory time.
During the ambulatory rotation, residents will spend time in both continuity and subspecialty clinics. This block integrates community engagement by incorporating volunteer activities at organizations focused on mitigating social determinants of health.
Individualized educational experiences include electives in Cardiology, Pulmonary, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Oncology, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Rheumatology, Research, and Hospital Medicine.
The education of our residents is our highest priority. Didactic sessions provide protected time dedicated to enhancing and enriching clinical skills. In addition to receiving instruction, residents will strengthen their public speaking and teaching skills through regular conference presentations.
