The impact of the state of Georgia's only public medical school spans from its founding in 1828 as one of the nation's first medical schools to its current role optimizing health care in Georgia and beyond through education, discovery and service. The Medical College of Georgia (MCG), among the nine colleges of Augusta University, offers clinical training in approximately 135 sites across the state providing students experience in the full spectrum of medicine, from tertiary/quaternary care hospitals to small-town solo practices. The experience is anchored by MCG's main campus in Augusta as well as regional clinical campuses for third- and fourth-year students and a second four-year campus in Athens in partnership with the University of Georgia. roundsResearch initiatives focus on illnesses that affect most Georgians and Americans, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity/diabetes. The sustained growth and productivity of the past decade is helping transform health in areas as diverse as childhood obesity, sickle cell disease and surgical recovery. MCG's clinical service zeros in on the diverse needs of the state and nation as well, offering everything from frontline wellness care to complex care for the sickest adults and children. MCG faculty share their expertise with physicians and patients at about 80 clinics and hospitals statewide and utilize technology, developed at MCG, to virtually travel to the bedside of stroke patients.
