Curriculum Description
During the first year (Phase 1), the students study the
structure and function of the human body as well as the social and
behavioral aspects of the individual. Contact with patients begins with the
patient-doctor course in the fall of the first year. The second year (Phase
2) emphasizes clinical medicine. Interdepartmental cooperation and clinical
relevance are stressed throughout the first two years.
During the third year (Phase 3) of the curriculum,
students take required clerkships. In the fourth year (Phase 3), all
students take an acting internship in internal medicine, family medicine or
pediatrics; and emergency medicine. The balance of the fourth year is filled
by elective courses in various clinical departments.
The Medical College of Georgia has affiliation agreements
with major community hospitals within the state of Georgia that permit
students to take some core clinical courses at these hospitals.
