LISTEN: New medical students could begin their education in Savannah by fall 2024. GPB's Benjamin Payne reports. Georgia's only public medical school plans to open a four-year campus in Savannah by fall 2024, as the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University on Thursday announced approval of state funding to expand to Georgia Southern University's Armstrong campus on the city's south side. Although MCG already operates a clinical program in Savannah for third- and fourth-year medical students, the planned four-year campus would become only the city's second full-fledged medical school, pending approval by accreditors at the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
