Overview

The School of Medicine curriculum is undergoing review and evolutionary change as MCG continues to graduate well-educated physicians in the era of health care reform.

The curriculum is broad-based and designed to foster the attitudes, behaviors, knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in any field of medicine. While School of Medicine graduates are well-prepared for any field of postgraduate study, half of MCG graduates practice in a generalist discipline (family medicine, internal medicine or pediatrics).

This section summarizes the curriculum for the upcoming academic year. The curriculum will evolve as the School of Medicine increases early clinical experiences for students, emphasizes self-motivated learning and strives to integrate the basic and clinical sciences.
