Announcing the new UGA School of Medicine

With its vote on Feb. 13, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents authorized the University of Georgia to establish a new independent School of Medicine in Athens.
The initiation of a school of medicine at Georgia’s flagship university comes at a time when the state faces a significant shortage of medical professionals. In recent years, Georgia’s population 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-the nation’s eighth largest state-is forecasted to experience further population growth in the coming years, while nearly one-third of the state’s physicians are nearing retirement.
