Mercer University School of Medicine -- Savannah
Campus
The Mercer School
of Medicine’s presence in Savannah dates back to 1996 when the University
joined in a clinical relationship with Memorial University Medical Center. Over
the ensuing 12 years, instruction for third- and fourth-year medical students
has been provided at Memorial. The Georgia General Assembly, recognizing the
need for additional physicians in the state, allocated funds in the 2007-2008
fiscal year for Mercer to expand to a four-year program in Savannah that
confers the M.D. degree and employs the same curriculum and teaching methods as
the Macon campus.
