UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report.

The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff.

Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly established School of Medicine.

About

the College/Unit/Department

The University of Georgia is establishing a new independent School of Medicine in Athens, building on the success of the Augusta University / University of Georgia Medical Partnership, which has been educating physicians in Athens since 2010.

The establishment of a new public medical school at UGA comes as the state faces a significant shortage of medical professionals. The population of Georgia, the nation's eighth largest state, has surged to approximately 11 million residents, straining existing medical infrastructure and resulting in longer wait times for appointments and reduced access to care. Georgia currently ranks 40th in the nation for the number of active patient care physicians per capita and 41st for the number of public medical students per capita.

As a top 20 public university with a thriving research enterprise and vast public service network, the University of Georgia is well positioned to produce more highly trained physicians, alleviate physician shortages, and improve the state's ability to provide quality health care for its citizens.

The School of Medicine is located on UGA's Health Sciences Campus in Athens, home to UGA's College of Public Health and the current AU/UGA Medical Partnership. In its inaugural year, the UGA SOM plans to enroll 60 students per class, but a new $100 million medical school building will enable the UGA School of Medicine to grow to 120 students per class in the future.

The University of Georgia School of Medicine is seeking accreditation and has been formally recognized with "candidate status" by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), beginning a multi-year accreditation process.
