Medical College of Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located in Augusta, Georgia, the Medical College of Georgia is the smallest of four research schools in the University System of Georgia (USG). MCG currently has 5 undergraduate and graduate schools on campus: The School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, School of Nursing, School of Allied Health, and Graduate Studies.
In 1828, it was chartered by the state of Georgia as the Medical Academy of Georgia, with plans to offer a single course of lectures leading to a bachelor's degree. It opened the following year on October 1st at the Augusta hospital. In December 1829 the school's name was changed to the Medical Institute of Georgia by the Georgia General Assembly, and again to its current name in December 1833, just a few months after the first graduation.
