ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

       On July 7, 2000 and effective July 1, 2000, AmSurg Holdings, Inc.
("AmSurg"), a subsidiary of AmSurg Corp., purchased from PRG Georgia, Inc.
("PRG"), a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Physicians Resource Group,
Inc., an undivided 55% interest in the assets and assumed liabilities of a
surgery center in Metairie, Louisiana.

       Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, dated January 31,
2000, by and among AmSurg Corp., Physicians Resource Group, Inc. and other
entities, AmSurg paid to PRG a purchase price of $2,597,016 in cash to PRG. The
cash used in the purchase transaction was provided primarily from borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit agreement with SunTrust Bank, Nashville.
The consideration paid to PRG was determined through arm's-length negotiations
between AmSurg and Physicians Resource Group, Inc.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

       Simultaneous with the transaction described in Item 2 above, AmSurg
purchased from Stephen F. Brint, M.D. an undivided 5% interest in the assets and
assumed liabilities of the surgery center for $200,000 in cash. Following the
asset purchase, AmSurg and the owners of the remaining 40% of the assets and
assumed liabilities comprising the surgery center contributed their respective
ownership interests in the assets and assumed liabilities of the surgery center
into a newly formed limited liability company, The Metairie Ophthalmology ASC,
LLC, and received proportionate membership interests therein.
