We are so proud of these future physicians as they spent an intensive month shadowing, researching, and preparing themselves for the rigors of medical school and beyond!

Thank you to  Northeast Georgia Physicians Group, Piedmont Athens Regional Health System, Swanahoochee Pediatrics, Oconee Valley Healthcare, Synergy Health, Legacy Medical, and Whole Hart Wellness for providing clinical shadowing!

Thank you to the AU/UGA Medical Partnership Campus, PCOM-GA, Mercer School of Medicine, and Morehouse School of Medicine for providing guidance on their journey to med school! This program would not be possible without these volunteers.
