Doctor's Bio

Dr. Maura R. George was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, completed an undergraduate degree at Princeton University, and received her MD from Northwestern University. She left Chicago for sunny Atlanta to complete her residency in Internal Medicine and joined the Division of General Medicine and Geriatrics at Grady after graduation. Maura has always felt a calling to work for the underserved, and has harmony between this goal and her love for teaching at Grady. In her faculty position in Internal Medicine she finds satisfaction in addressing both the medical and social reasons for her patients’ medical problems and teaching medical students and residents to do the same. Maura helped develop the Social Medicine program and has served as the course director of the Social Medicine elective, which teaches medical students and residents about the social determinants of health, patient advocacy, and cultural competency. She is an active teacher across all levels of learners and teaches in the Osler Society as a Small Group Advisor. In addition to her busy teaching and clinical schedules, she is active on many committees, serving as co-chair of the Grady Ethics Committee, board member for Georgia Watch, member of the Society for General Internal Medicine’s Ethics Committee and Health Policy Committee, and faculty advisor for the student group Volunteer Medical Interpretive Services (VMIS).
