Mercer
University School of Medicine -- Macon Campus
The Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM) enrolled
its charter class in 1982 in Macon. The curriculum is problem-based and
adaptable to the learning needs of each student. The first two years take place
on the main campus of Mercer University. The final two years are largely spent
in clinical clerkships. The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) serves as
the primary teaching hospital in Macon.
The Medical Center of Central Georgia
(MCCG)
The partnership of
The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) and the Mercer University School
of Medicine (MUSM), which began with the construction of MUSM in 1982, has led
to a pattern of excellence in graduate medical education. The MUSM Educational
Center at MCCG, constructed in 1982, provides space for medical education
activities, and contains the Office of the MUSM Associate Dean for Graduate and
Continuing Medical Education/MCCG Director of Medical Education. For
coordination between MCCG and MUSM, the MCCG Medical Director also serves as
MUSM Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs. With this degree of
cooperation, a strong university medical center environment has been
established that has benefited medical students, residency programs and the
MUSM faculty, both clinical and basic science.
