Dr. Judith Volcy serves as Program Director of the Internal Medicine residency program of Morehouse School of Medicine. Prior to that, she served as Associate Program Director for five years. She also served five years as Medical Director for the Grady Primary Care Center and three years as Section Chief for the General Internal Medicine Division at Morehouse.  Dr. Volcy is passionate about providing excellent primary care to her patients and enjoys sharing that passion with her residents and students. Under her leadership, the primary care clinic metrics improved to beyond the target goal for several metrics such as hypertension control, diabetic foot exam, BMI counseling, and patient satisfaction. An advocate for getting more residents to choose primary care as a career, there has been a significant increase in residents choosing careers in outpatient primary care during her tenure as medical director. She has taught the PGY3 longitudinal board review course for the past several years and has been one of the Morehouse Step 3 board review teachers for the past several. She has been awarded Teacher of the Year seven times in her combined ten years as faculty at Morehouse School of Medicine, plus was the 2025 GME Faculty of the Year. She was inducted into AOA, the Medical Honor Society, in June of 2026. She enjoys quality improvement and has published in this area in collaboration with residents and colleagues.

This academic year marks Dr. Volcy’s 26th year as a board certified internal medicine physician.
