Train to be a leader in a high-volume environment, serving patients from a broad range of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Welcome! We appreciate your interest in the Wellstar Spalding Internal Medicine Residency Program. I am incredibly excited and proud to announce that we successfully launched this program in 2022 with the mission of cultivating the next generation of physicians dedicated to serving our community with exceptional training and providing high-quality care.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Ashok Kanugula, program director of the Wellstar Spalding Internal Medicine Residency Program. Originally from India, I moved to the United States after completing my medical school education. I pursued a master’s in public health at Missouri State University and later completed my internal medicine residency at Mercy Catholic Medical Center. Throughout most of my career, I have been deeply involved in medical education. Most recently, I served as the associate program director at Hurley Medical Center, Michigan State University.
Wellstar stands as one of the largest non-profit organizations in the state of Georgia, with a mission focused on enhancing the health and well-being of every individual we serve. Our vision is to deliver world-class healthcare to every person, every time. While graduate medical education to nurture the next generation of physicians is already a priority for Wellstar, Wellstar Spalding Medical Center is dedicated to contributing by producing physicians to serve our community, the state of Georgia and, in turn, the nation.
As the founding program director, my goal is to train and educate residents in alignment with Wellstar’s mission, vision and values. We strive to recruit highly qualified and diverse trainees. In a short period, we have developed a competency-based curriculum with a significant emphasis on evidence-based and cost-conscious care, ensuring the highest quality care at minimal cost for individuals in our community, who have limited healthcare access. Our curriculum strictly adheres to ACGME and ABIM policies tailored to meet these standards.
We have a diverse group of faculty and leaders dedicated to training and supporting our residents. Each year, we recruit 10 residents through the NRMP match, and we accept J-1 visas through ECFMG as required. Please review the other requirements mentioned on our website.
I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about what our organization offers to its team members and patients. I assure you that those who choose to join our program will not be disappointed. Our greatest strength lies in being part of a reputable organization with committed and experienced team members.
The mission of graduate medical education at Wellstar Spalding is to create an exceptional and personalized training environment to develop the next generation of physicians who will provide the highest quality of care and improve the physician workforce in our community.

The Wellstar Spalding Internal Medicine Residency Program proudly joined the esteemed Wellstar GME family in 2022, welcoming our inaugural cohort of residents. Our first graduates are anticipated to emerge in the summer of 2025, so we cannot yet provide specific data regarding board pass rates or fellowship match rates.
Residents begin their day at the hospital around 6:45 AM. Chart reviews and pre-rounding activities continue until 9 AM, at which point attending-led rounds commence. These rounds pause at noon for didactics sessions, which occur from Monday to Friday and last for an hour, providing protected learning time. Following the didactics session, residents may resume rounds or proceed to address orders and documentation for the day. Typically, one to two admissions are assigned to residents during this period. At 5 PM, residents transition their patients to the on-call team, utilizing the I-PASS format for sign-out before leaving. On-call residents remain on service until 9 PM, at which time they provide sign-out to the night float team. During on-call coverage, residents respond to all rapid responses and medical codes within the hospital and admit patients from the emergency room until the end of their shift. Each PGY-1 resident is limited to a maximum of 10 patient encounters per day.
Residents receive complimentary meals from the cafeteria all day, unwind in exclusive physician lounges, access dedicated wellness spaces, private call rooms and prayer rooms, and take advantage of concierge services. Residents can access a well-equipped in-house gym and can receive outstanding benefits customizable to their individual needs through Wellstar Health System. Moreover, residents receive an annual education stipend of $1,000, with additional funding available through Wellstar GME for conferences and approved research activities. Like all major health systems in the country, we use EPIC as our EMR.
Yes, our program accepts J1 visas sponsored by ECFMG.
