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.
