Posting Number F2765P Working Title Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs Department SOM-Academic Affairs About the University of Georgia Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education and is the state’s flagship university (https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).). The proof is in our more than 240 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education.
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. The University’s enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students.
Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly established School of Medicine.
About the College/Unit/Department The University of Georgia School of Medicine was founded in 2024 and received preliminary accreditation in 2026.
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 39th 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. In its inaugural year, the UGA School of Medicine will 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.
