Irma H. Welch, MD
Specialties: Family Medicine
Gender: Female
Biography: I am a native Mississippian. I completed undergraduate training at Jackson States University in 1982. I entered medical school at the University of Mississippi in the late summer of 1982 and remained at UMMC until finishing the Family Medicine residency program on June 30, 1989. I have practiced medicine here in the Jackson area since that time. I returned to UMMC January of 2003.
My Approach to Healthcare
My goal is to help each patient maintain or achieve the best state of health possible by using every tool available including medications if necessary. I also try my best to treat every patient I see as I would want a family member of mine to be treated.
