Medical College of Georgia Atlanta
The new campus is the first in the Atlanta area for MCG and is the sixth two-year regional campus.
In 2023, MCG sent the first dedicated group of 17 students to Kennestone to complete all required core clinical clerkships.
In January of this year, MCG received official recognition from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, solidifying the Atlanta campus as an accredited and permanent part of MCG’s statewide medical education landscape.
Located 25 minutes northwest of Atlanta, Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center is one of the largest and most advanced hospitals in the state, serving as a transfer center for nearby Georgia counties and equipped with a state-of-the-art continuity clinic.
