Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM) is the graduate medical school of Mercer University and a component of the Mercer University Health Sciences Center. It was founded in 1982 in Macon, Georgia, United States, and in 2008 opened a second campus in Savannah, Georgia with either site allowing students to complete all four requisite years of medical training.^[1] In 2012 MUSM developed a third site in Columbus, Georgia at which students could elect to complete their third and fourth years of training.^[2] In 2021, the Columbus transitioned to a full four-year campus.

MUSM adopts a mission that is heavily directed towards training future physicians and health professionals to meet the primary care and health care needs of rural and medically underserved areas in the state of Georgia, and as such, prospective matriculants must be Georgia residents. MUSM has teaching hospital affiliations with two of the five Level I trauma centers in Georgia, the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon, the second largest hospital in the state, and Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, the largest hospital in eastern Georgia and southern South Carolina.
