Transfer
Overview
The Medical College of Georgia at 麻豆官网首页入口 seeks to matriculate a diverse
class of exemplary medical students who will meet the healthcare needs of Georgia
and beyond. Our students represent MCG鈥檚 core values of collegiality, compassion,
excellence, inclusivity, integrity and leadership. MCG is a four-year medical curriculum
with a three-year option for select students. In certain circumstances due to significant
personal hardships, a medical student may need to request transfer to another medical
school after completing key components of the curriculum. MCG recognizes extenuating
circumstances and will consider requests for transfer from students enrolled and in
good standing at an LCME-accredited medical school on a case-by-case basis in situations
of personal hardship or other compelling circumstances.
Policy
The Medical College of Georgia will consider requests for transfer into phase two
of the pre-clerkship curriculum or transfer into the beginning of the clinical curriculum
on a case by case basis, contingent on class space availability. Acceptance decisions
will be made at the discretion of the MCG admissions committee with input as appropriate
from the Curriculum Office, the Office of Student Affairs, and the Vice Dean for Academic
Affairs. Transfer students are considered with the same rigor by the committee as
those applying for entry into the first year. All decisions by the admissions committee
are final and cannot be appealed. Acceptance will be contingent upon stipulations
outlined by the committee. Given MCG鈥檚 accelerated pre-clerkship curriculum, transfer
acceptance is primarily considered for students entering the beginning of the clinical
years. Transfer into phase two of the pre-clerkship curriculum is considered on a
case by case basis and academic comparability of completed curriculum components must
be reviewed and approved by MCG鈥檚 Office of Academic Affairs. Any student accepted
for transfer must be willing to be placed on a regional clinical campus and campus
preference cannot be guaranteed. Students cannot be accepted for transfer into the
final clinical year.
