The Medical College of Georgia and the University of Georgia are embarking on a bold plan to address the physician workforce issues of the State of Georgia, the creation of a new four year regional campus, located at the University of Georgia, and supported by MCG under its LCME accreditation. This new campus, scheduled to matriculate its first class in the Fall of 2010, will initially reside on the UGA campus in Athens. In 2011, the program is expected to move to the state of the art facilities of the Navy Supply Corps School, just a few miles from the UGA campus, which is being transferred to UGA following its scheduled closing as a military base.
Clinical training of MCG medical students will occur at three regional hospitals, Athens Regional Medical Center, St. Mary’s Health Care System, and Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
