When asked to gather comparative data to support the decision-making process of the administration of the Medical College of Georgia, the Office of Decision Support typically relies on a class of institutions historically viewed as our “peer group”—public, freestanding academic health centers.

This list of institutions should be used when formally reporting comparisons of MCG's programs and initiatives to those at other organizations. Programs may adapt the list to include other additional schools, or they may exclude peer institutions relevant to their respective offerings.
