Reported by the program

The program describes the following on its official website, reviewed on July 27, 2026.

Partners and setting
The program describes an ACGME-accredited, community-focused psychiatry residency built through collaboration among Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Avita Community Partners, Peachford Hospital, and Northeast Georgia Health System integrated-care clinics across multiple counties. The program's overview page doesn't name an individual program director, so we don't publish one here.
Curriculum
The program reports that residents begin a continuity clinic in the third year and rotate through addiction, geriatric, community, consultation-liaison, child and adolescent, interventional, women's mental health, and forensic services, with psychotherapy making up about a third of the didactic curriculum in cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and supportive modalities.
Resident feedback
The program reports that in the 2026 ACGME Resident and Fellow Survey, 91 percent of its residents said they would choose the program again, and that it sponsors J-1 visas but not H-1B.
