Community Internal Medicine of Athens

Community Internal Medicine of Athens (CIMA) is an Internal Medicine clinic dedicated to providing quality patient care to Athens and surrounding areas. Our physicians specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adults, including the management of certain chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Opened in August 2015, CIMA also serves as the educational site for Resident Physicians of the AU-UGA Medical Partnership Internal Medicine Residency Program. Resident Physicians develop their ambulatory care skills while serving as primary care providers for their panel of patients. They are supervised by our experienced faculty physicians who are board-certified in Internal Medicine.

The AU/UGA Medical Partnership is a four-year medical education program in Athens, Georgia, created in partnership with Augusta University and the University of Georgia to help alleviate a statewide shortage of physicians that threatens the health of Georgians. The AU/UGA Medical Partnership combines the significant instructional and research resources of UGA, the state's flagship land-grant research university, with the expertise of AU, Georgia's only public medical school.

CIMA is conveniently located in the Resource Medical office park off Oglethorpe Avenue in Athens, GA. Physicians are now taking new patients, and most major insurances are accepted.
