Northside Hospital Gwinnett recently honored 28 physicians who completed the Graduate Medical Education program.
Commencement ceremonies were held June 14 in Lawrenceville.
It was the ninth group of primary care and transitional year residents to graduate from the Northside Gwinnett Department of Graduate Medical Education, according to Dr. Mark Darrow, designated institutional officer and director of the program.
“Once again, Northside Gwinnett has fulfilled its commitment in producing a significant number of physicians who are committed to practicing in the state of Georgia,” Dr. Darrow said. “Those committed to fellowship training are also expected to return to the state to practice if their training sites are outside of Georgia.
“It should also be noted that a vast majority of the transitional-year residents were accepted to very prestigious programs in such institutions as the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota; Brigham & Women’s (and) Mass General in Massachusetts; as well as New York University and Columbia.”
