The hospital’s 14 residents were selected from some 2,400 applicants. Ten residents will continue their training in internal medicine and the other four will train in the OB/GYN department.
Kennestone partnered with Atlanta-based University System of Georgia to offer the residency programs, which recently received accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
By 2018, the hospital hopes to expand its internal medicine program to include 30 residents and its OB/GYN program to include 16 residents.
