Hamilton Health Care System is early on in the second year of its Residency Program. Thirteen physicians have started their internal medicine residency, and six have started a family medicine residency.

HHCS recently hosted its second White Coat Ceremony, a rite of passage for resident physicians to emphasize the importance of compassionate patient care at the very start of training.

“It’s great to be starting the second year of our residency program,” said Daniel Grace, MD, director of the internal medicine residency program. “We have another great group of doctors.”

Hamilton’s medical school partnerships include Medical College of Georgia/Augusta University, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and various other medical schools.
