Course Info

The following list all of the selective and elective courses available through the Medical College of Georgia. Each listing contains the course title, course number, course category, course classification, contact person, months offered, and a brief description of the course.

Each course description also has an eligibility listing, which refers to the course prerequisites:

  • Courses listed as “All” have no prerequisites and can be taken by all students.

  • Courses listed as “Enrichment Only” can be taken only by students who have completed all Core Clerkships.

  • Courses listed as “Clerkship +” may be taken by any student who has completed all of the clinical portion of the clerkship within that department or part of the clinical portion and passed the shelf exam for that clerkship. LIC students must take Clerkship + electives in the second semester of their clerkship phase.

 

Note that clerkship students can find a list of courses which are open to them on the final pages of this bulletin. A few courses have additional requirements which are listed in this category as well.

With few exceptions, course locations are not included in the course listing.  Most of the listed courses are available on the Augusta campus. Many of the courses are also offered on the various regional campuses, as well.

For information about courses on the Augusta campus, please check with the sponsoring department. For information about courses on the regional campuses, please check with the corresponding regional campus office.

 

All courses listed are subject to the availability of faculty and resources. Because of lack of available faculty or other resources, some courses may not be offered at a given time even though they are listed in the bulletin. Check with the sponsoring department for more information about which courses are available currently.
