What Is The AU/UGA Medical Partnership?

The AU/UGA Medical Partnership is a collaborative effort between Augusta University and the University of Georgia to address the critical shortage of physicians in the state. This partnership established a regional medical campus in Athens that began educating 40 Medical College of Georgia students per year in the fall of 2010. The class size expanded to 60 students per class in 2021. Faculty and staff are made up of employees of both Augusta University and the University of Georgia. Our students are Medical College of Georgia students.
