The Family Medicine Residency Program at Memorial Health University Medical Center is proud to offer a number of teaching opportunities. Remember the hard-working residents who helped you when you were a med student? This is your chance to pay it forward and share your passion for family medicine with new students.
Memorial Health University Medical Center is a 612-bed academic medical center dedicated to education and discovery. As a family medicine resident, you will have the opportunity to work with and provide one-on-one teaching to students from multiple disciplines. The Savannah campus of Mercer University School of Medicine is located on the Memorial University Medical Center campus. Residents work with Mercer’s second-, third-, and fourth-year medical students. Additionally, you will also participate in the education of South University’s physician assistant students who rotate with us throughout the year. At Memorial University Medical Center, we strongly believe that your own family medicine training is greatly enhanced through teaching others.
Residents do not teach in the outpatient clinic for the first six months of their intern year, but you may have students assigned to you for inpatient rounds during that time. Residents complete and give feedback to the students they worked with. The students value their interaction with our residents and lifelong friendships often form.
The Family Medicine Residency Program at Memorial Health University Medical Center was the first site for Mercer University School of Medicine's family medicine accelerated track. This program has been going strong in Savannah, and it has now expanded to a full primary care accelerated track program that includes Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics at the Columbus, Macon, and Savannah campuses. The accelerated track program received a Health Care Heroes Award for Health Care Innovation from the Georgia Medical Society.
In 2019, Natalie Britt, MD was nominated for and won both the GAFP Resident of the Year Award and The Keith Ellis, MD Award. The GAFP Resident of the Year Award is given to “the resident who exhibits dedication to family medicine through leadership and involvement in his/her residency program and in the community” and The Keith Ellis, MD Award is given to “a chief resident or co-chief resident who displays excellent leadership skills in their family medicine residency program”. Throughout her life, Natalie has excelled at whatever she sets out to accomplish, and she has been a terrific teacher along the way. She started winning awards for her teaching during her time in undergrad and this has continued throughout medical school and residency.
