    Program Description

    Our ethnically diverse program, located in Atlanta, GA, is taught by faculty devoted to health equity and caring for underserved communities. Our residents benefit from training at a large safety-net hospital where they collaborate with other residents and fellows and from strong ambulatory training and procedural opportunities. The ultrasound training and lifestyle medicine education round out our curriculum to prepare our graduates well for practice in any setting.
