Medical Students:

The Phoebe Family Medicine Residency Program considers the training of medical students to be an integral part of our educational mandate. We are pleased to offer both core and elective clerkships.

During their clerkships, students will have the opportunity to see patients who are varied in both demographics and medical complexity. Students will interact closely with faculty and residents and will be able to observe a variety of clinical styles with respect to the practice of medicine.

Crimmins House

Complimentary accommodations are usually provided at the Crimmins House, named after Dr. Laurence Crimmins, former Georgia Family Physician of the Year and a retired member of our teaching faculty.

This beautifully restored 1890’s Victorian cottage is located less than a block from the hospital and has nine single rooms with private or semi-private baths.

FAQs residency

Frequently Asked Questions

Applicants often ask us:

What should I expect on interview day?
Interviews will be solely in-person, and will take place between October and February. A resident takes each applicant out to an informal dinner at 7:00 p.m. on the night before interview day. The next morning starts at 8:30 a.m., with a meeting with our Program Coordinator to discuss Benefits. There will be four 20 minute interviews throughout the morning: one with the program director, one with a faculty member and two with residents. There are also tours of the clinic, hospital and resident housing. The day ends around noon.
What are the housing options like?
While a good number of our residents tend to buy houses due to the low cost of living, we are also proud to offer Flaggstone. Located just one block from the hospital, Flaggstone is a beautiful, modern apartment building designed specifically for healthcare professionals in training.
What do your residents typically do after graduation?
Our residents have varied interests. While most go into hospital medicine or outpatient primary care, quite a few have completed fellowships, to include: Sports Medicine, Behavioral Health, Maternal Health, Palliative Medicine and Emergency Medicine.
What is it like to live in Albany?
The southern hospitality is unmatched. Albany is a nice, safe community that is easy to get around and very comfortable to live in. It is the perfect place for outdoor activities like hiking, running, fishing and hunting. Local attractions include Chehaw Zoo, the Flint Riverquarium, the Albany Civil Rights Museum and Ray Charles Plaza. There is also a 2.5 mile trail that includes scenic overlooks along the Flint River. We host the Snickers Marathon yearly, which is a big qualifier for the Boston Marathon. The beach is only three hours away, as Destin and Panama City are close by. Atlanta is also three hours away if you want to get away for the weekend.
Are there childcare options?
We have the Phoebe Family Tree, a hospital owned daycare adjacent to the hospital. They treat the children like family and it is one of the best daycares in the city. Several residents and faculty utilize this awesome resource.
What are the benefits?
In addition to their salary, residents receive complimentary medical, dental and vision insurance, 28 vacation days, $2000 relocation allowance, $1500 for continuing education and much more. Please see the benefits tab for more details.
What are the education opportunities like?
We receive firsthand access to all patients and procedures. Working at a community based hospital tends to have a more relaxed feel, with a lot of one-on-one time spent with attending physicians. The relationships that we develop with our specialists are so strong, that they often make themselves available to us even after we have graduated.
Are meals provided?
Yes! Complimentary all-you-can-eat hot breakfast and lunch are available every weekday in the Physician’s Lounge. There is also a Starbucks in the hospital lobby.
