Northside Hospital Graduate Medical Education 

Dear Applicants, 

Thank you for considering Northside Hospital for the next stage of your medical education and professional development. Choosing a residency or fellowship program is one of the most important decisions of your career, and we are honored that you are exploring our institution. Here at Northside Hospital, we are proud to offer categorical residencies in Internal Medicine and Family Medicine. Additionally, we offer a Transitional Year residency as well as fellowship training in Sports Medicine.  

Our graduate medical education programs are built upon the belief that outstanding physicians are developed through strong mentorship, meaningful clinical experiences, and a culture that values both professional growth and personal well-being. Our faculty members are experienced clinicians, educators, and mentors who are deeply invested in the success of every learner. Residents and fellows work closely with approachable attending physicians and program leadership who are committed to creating an environment where curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement are encouraged every day. Your professional development includes growth as a physician and a healthcare professional across the systems of care and its challenges. 

At Northside Hospital, we offer a learning environment that combines academic rigor with a supportive and collegial culture. As one of the leading healthcare systems in Georgia, Northside provides trainees with the unique opportunity to care for diverse patient populations across a broad spectrum of clinical settings while learning within a system known for clinical excellence, innovation, and compassionate care.   

The Gwinnett and Duluth hospital campuses sit in a county of nearly one million people of broad cultural backgrounds and healthcare needs. As such, Northside Hospital offers the advantages of training within a large, well-respected healthcare system where learners can benefit from high clinical volume and be exposed to complex pathology across a diverse patient population from diverse socio-economic classes. During training, we also offer our learners the opportunity to develop procedural and leadership skills. We strive to cultivate physicians who are not only clinically skilled, but also compassionate leaders dedicated to improving the health of the communities they serve.  

We offer this, all while maintaining the close-knit culture of a community-based program. We believe exceptional patient care begins with supporting the people who provide it. We are proud of our low learner-to-faculty ratio which results in our residents and fellows being personally known by all faculty and leadership. Wellbeing, teamwork, professionalism, and respect are foundational values across all our programs.  

For those considering their long-term future, Northside Hospital also offers exceptional career opportunities within our expanding healthcare system. Many of our graduates choose to continue practicing within Northside because of the collaborative medical staff, strong organizational leadership, outstanding clinical resources, and commitment to physician development. Whether your future goals include academic or private practice medicine, inpatient or outpatient care, our programs are designed to prepare you for success. 

Beyond the hospital, the greater Atlanta region provides an outstanding place to live, learn, and build your future. With vibrant communities, cultural diversity, excellent schools, and recreational opportunities in its parks, Lake Lanier and nearby mountain trails, the area offers an exceptional quality of life for trainees and their families. 

We invite you to learn more about our programs, meet our faculty and residents, and discover what makes Northside Hospital Graduate Medical Education a special place to train. We are excited about the future of medical education at Northside and look forward to welcoming the next generation of physicians who share our commitment to excellence, service, and compassionate patient care. 

Sincerely, 

Northside Hospital Graduate Medical Education Leadership
