Georgia is slated to get a new four-year medical campus in Savannah as soon as next year. The new Medical College of Georgia (MCG) campus will begin accepting students in fall 2024, if the accrediting body for U.S. medical schools approves the plan. MCG, the sole public medical school in Georgia, is headquartered in Augusta. The expansion is aimed at addressing Georgia's physician shortage. Nine Georgia counties have no doctor, 65 counties lack a pediatrician, and 82 counties lack an ob-gyn, Speaker of the Georgia General Assembly Jon Burns (R-Newington) said in a statement issued this week.
