A historic day for medical education in Georgia with the ceremonial opening today of MCG Savannah, a new four-year medical campus that will broaden the impact of MCG, the state’s flagship medical school. A collaboration between Augusta University and Georgia Southern University, the new campus will open the path for 40 new MCG medical students. While MCG has had a two-year regional clinical campus in Savannah for third- and fourth-year students since 2011, this new four-year campus will build on the success of one of the nation's first and largest medical schools. The campus will allow MCG to grow its class size from 264 to 304 students, making it one of the top 5 largest medical schools by class size in the nation, and ultimately producing more physicians for Savannah and for Georgia.
