PCOM Georgia

For Abdul A. Walters, MS/Biomed ’16, DO ’20, RES ’26, the journey through PCOM has spanned more than a decade.

Since joining the "PCOMmunity" in 2014, he has earned degrees in biomedical sciences and osteopathic medicine, completed his general surgery residency, and been recognized for his dedication to service and leadership.

“Over the last 12 years, PCOM has offered me opportunities for growth I had only previously dreamed of.”

As he prepares to return to Georgia for a Surgical Critical Care and Trauma Fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia, one thing remains unchanged: he's made it through every stage of his training without a single cup of coffee. ☕️

PCOM Georgia recently closed out our 20th anniversary year with a “Legacy in Bloom” celebration, a campus event reflecting on two decades of growth.

“Twenty years ago, this journey began in a very simple way … in an empty warehouse in Suwanee,” said President and CEO Jay S. Feldstein, DO ’81.

“Today, PCOM Georgia is home to future osteopathic physicians, pharmacists, physical therapists, physician assistants, biomedical scientists, and medical laboratory scientists.”
