Internal Medicine Residency Program

Magnolia Regional Health Center welcomes the opportunity to be a part of the future of providing highly trained and qualified physicians to Corinth and surrounding communities. With a vision from the CEO and with tremendous support from the hospital Board of Trustees and staff, MRHC proudly announced the opening of an internal medicine residency program in July of 2008.

In the spring of 2006, with and eye on its future, MRHC launched into partnership with Pikeville School of Osteopathic Medicine, to become a core teaching site. MRHC accepted its first group of third-year medical students in August 2006. We have since obtained afflications with KCUMB, Nova Southeastern and WCU-COM.

Magnolia Regional Health Center takes great pride in training physicians for our rural, medically under-served area. This dedication has resulted in an increase in quality primary care for Northeast Mississippi and the surrounding area with the growth of our institution. MRHC offers the benefits of rural living with the opportunity to train in a modern and progressive hospital.

Located in Northeast Mississippi, Corinth is a city of contrast that attracts people from all walks of life with its history and tradition, community spirit, hospitality, and excellent quality of life. Whether raising a family or retiring to the "good life," Corinth is the place to be, and no matter what your age, it is a great place to live. Considered the "Crossroads of the South," Corinth offers great access to Memphis, Nashville and Birmingham and is located just 20 minutes away for Pickwick Lake, a beautiful recreational lake with over 90 miles of shoreline.

The strength of our residency program is direct responsibility to patient care. Enthusiasm for teaching from physicians, support staff and administration, results in a supportive, family-like atmosphere that is conducive to learning.
