2022 Match Results

Today we celebrate 221 of our remarkable students taking the next step in their careers as physicians, including 181 from MCG in Augusta and 40 from the AU/UGA Medical Partnership in Athens. These soon-to-be MCG graduates have been educated in all four corners of our state, including at our regional campuses in Albany, Rome/Dalton, and Savannah/Brunswick.

As of Match day, 98% of MCG’s graduates have a residency position! This achievement will be widely celebrated by classmates, family, and faculty members. Our students’ personal and academic accomplishments have placed them at top-tier residency programs across the country, including programs at the Medical College of Georgia. It comes as no surprise that we regularly hear from colleagues all over the United States how well our students are doing in their residency programs. We expect to hear great things about this years’ matched students.

Such Match Day success is something we should all be proud of, and it is due in large part to not only our students’ abilities, but the learning, care, mentorship, and support they have received from MCG’s faculty and administrative teams, who are devoted to student success.

The MCG Office of Learner Affairs guides the important MSPE (Medical Student Performance Evaluation) process. MSPE letters are used by residency programs as part of the selection process. Associate Dean Dr. Nancy Havas (Augusta) and Assistant Deans Dr. Jennifer Tucker (Year 4 Class Dean, Augusta) and Dr. Robert McClowry (Student Affairs, Athens) lead the MSPE writing process. Assisting them is a team of MSPE authors and student advisors who met with each student this year.
