Motivating students to pursue careers in the health professions

The Office of Educational Outreach and Partnerships serves as the office of multicultural affairs in the School of Medicine, and plays a key role in student recruitment and retention.

Programs sponsored by the Office of Educational Outreach and Partnerships represent the educational pipeline established by the School of Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia. These pipeline programs are designed to encourage and prepare talented students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the health sciences as well as non-traditional and disadvantaged students.

Goals of the pipeline programs include motivating students to pursue careers in the health professions, promoting their recruitment to MCG, and contributing to their retention after they have been admitted into one of MCG's health professions schools.

These programs expose students to a broad spectrum of educational opportunities in the allied health sciences, dentistry, graduate studies, medicine, nursing, biomedical research, and other health professions.

Our well-established pipeline programs have a long tradition of success based upon the efforts of the many dedicated administrators, faculty, community practitioners, and students who have been involved with them throughout the nearly four decades they have been in existence.
