SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Augusta University's Medical College of Georgia will open a four-year campus at the Armstrong campus of Georgia Southern University. The St. Joseph's/Candler CEO is hoping the new campus will give better access to training for medical students and help with Georgia's ongoing physician shortage. The site is just down the street from St. Joseph's Hospital, where CEO Paul Hinchey says third and fourth-year students will team up with nearly 80 physicians. 'Our job is to train them and prepare them to go into their residency after they finish their fourth year,' Hinchey said.
