Open House at UGA Health Sciences Campus

Today is an open house day at UGA: the University’s Health Sciences Campus shows off renovations and expansions to the Augusta University-University of Georgia Medical Partnership facilities on Prince Avenue. Open House activities start at 5 o’clock this afternoon.

There are currently 40 students per class in the Medical Partnership, and that number will grow to 50 students per class in 2020, then 60 in 2021 and every year thereafter, bringing the total enrollment in Athens to 240 medical students by 2024. In order to provide for the growth of students, the partnership campus plans to add 12 additional faculty members and six additional staff members over the next two years. In Augusta at MCG’s main campus, there are plans to grow the class size from 190 to 240 by 2028, bringing MCG’s total class size to 300 and total enrollment to 1,200.
