LESSONS FOR MES STUDENTS
Maysville Elementary School students learned about and practice self con
trol during the month of August. These students, led by Mason Crawford, are
shown using self control while playing board games. Students shown are:
Brennen Lawley, Hayden Kirkpatrick and Amir Mangual.
Wilson accepted to Mercer School of Medicine
Primary Care Accelerated Track Program
Carley Wilson of Com
merce was recently accept
ed to the Mercer University
School of Medicine (MUSM)
Primary Care Accelerated
Track (ACT) Program, an
nounced MUSM Dean Jean
Sumner. M.D., FACP
The Primary Care ACT
Program allows students in
terested in a career in family
medicine, general internal
medicine or pediatrics to have
the opportunity to complete
their medical school course-
work in an accelerated three-
year program of study.
Scholarships are awarded
to highly-qualified medical
students upon the completion
of their first year of medical
school and cover tuition for
the second and third years.
These students must be in
good academic standing and
have a strong desire to prac
tice primary care in a rural
area.
After graduation, ACT
Scholars are guaranteed a res
idency with one of M US M's
primary teaching hospital
partners. Upon completion
of residency, Scholars are re
quired to participate in three
years of continuous, full-time,
primary care medical practice
in a medically underserved
or rural area of Georgia. The
practice must also accept
Medicaid patients.
“This is an outstanding pro
gram that enables qualified
students to accelerate their
education, decrease their debt
and enter the workforce soon
er without sacrificing quality,”
said Dr. Sumner. “This pro
gram wouldn't be possible
without the strong support and
leadership of Georgia’s state
legislature and governor.”
Graduating from East Jack-
son Comprehensive High
School in 2016, Wilson com
pleted her undergraduate ed
ucation at Mercer and knew
that's where she wanted to at
tend medical school, as well.
“The passion for service,
making a difference in indi
viduals’ lives, forming con
nections and trust across a
community, and filling the
gap in medical access across
Georgia are what drew me
to Mercer and the ACT Pro
gram,” she said. “I am hon
ored to be granted this oppor
tunity.”
Wilson is dedicated to sup
porting Mercer’s mission to
place physicians in rural and
medically underserved areas.
She will serve this mission by
returning to northeast Geor
gia to practice pediatrics in a
medically underserved com
munity.
Carley is the daughter of
Robin and Martha Wilson.
