MCG Technical Standards
Certain technical standards for physicians and medical students which must be met
by all applicants and students consist of the minimum physical, cognitive, emotional,
interpersonal, and communication requirements to provide reasonable assurance of completion
of the entire course of study and degree requirements.
Because the MD degree signifies that the holder is a physician prepared for entry
into the practice of medicine within postgraduate training programs, it follows that
graduates must have the knowledge and skills needed in a broad variety of clinical
situations and to render a wide spectrum of patient care. Applicants are selected
for admission based not only on their scholastic ability, but also on their intellectual,
physical and emotional capacities to meet the requirements of the curriculum and a
successful career in medicine.
