From UGA football player to doctor
Following graduation from UGA, Brian Brewer knew he wanted to attend the Medical College of Georgia at the AU/ UGA Medical Partnership in Athens. Attracted to the smaller class size with active learning methods, he was a member of the second class of graduating physicians.
This month marks the achievement of another one of Brewer's milestones: He graduated from the AU/ UGA Medical Partnership Internal Medicine Residency Program, where he also happened to be a member of the inaugural residency class.
"I wanted to be hands on from the beginning," Brewer said. "I knew that by being at a new program I would be first in line for all the training activities. In addition, the strong connections to the city that I made in undergrad, as well as in medical school, afforded me the opportunities to organize rotations around my professional interests."
Following graduation, Brewer will complete a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Kentucky Medical School. As a former running back for the Georgia Bulldogs, this is a natural fit for the physician. Brewer said that he received a lot of support from the team physicians at UGA while pursuing his career in sports medicine.
