Military Applicants (EMED 5011)
Military applicants looking for an emergency medicine rotation can apply by contacting the EMED Department at emclerkship@augusta.edu and submitting a paper application. Paper applications are only available to military students.
International Medicine Students or Caribbean Off-shore Medical Students
Augusta University Medical College of Georgia is unable to accept international medical students or Caribbean off-shore medical students at this time, as we only accept students from U.S.-based medical schools that are authorized by AAMC to use their VSLO APPLICATION SYSTEM. Please refer to our policy for acceptance of visiting medical students. We regret that there are no exceptions to this policy.
COVID-19 Important Info
COVID-19 Vaccination is required to rotate at our campus - 2 doses minimum.
- If you have a medical exemption and cannot be vaccinated, please upload a document in place of your vaccine
record explaining the exemption. You must include medical documentation to support
as one document.
- If you have a religious objection to the vaccine, you will need to upload this religious exemption form in place of your vaccination record.
We will review the documentation and circumstances and make a determination through our student health and/or legal offices whether your application can be considered. This determination can take several days or weeks and DOES NOT guarantee you a rotation. You may still be denied for other reasons after being cleared by student health or the legal office.
HOUSING
MCG does not currently offer short term housing on campus. Most visiting students use temporary housing sites like Airbnb, to find housing in the area. Be warned - we do not recommend the areas directly around the hospital for student housing, and we advise you to take care walking in downtown Augusta in general, especially at night. It isn't a dangerous area, just one where you need to be aware of your surroundings.
For housing, we would advise looking at North Augusta, which is right over the river, or the Summerville neighborhood, which is close to the hospital but a better area. That is the area west of the hospital up Walton Way, around the Summerville Campus of AU. Also the area around the Augusta National Golf Course is a good area that should have affordable housing.
Rotating Room is also a good resource to find housing specifically for medical students on rotations.
Students have also had good experiences at some of the extended stay hotels in the area.
You will likely need to bring your personal vehicle or rent one while you are here. Augusta is a driving city. We will send you parking information when you are accepted to your rotation. Parking is a flat $50 per month fee to use campus parking lots. There is a campus shuttle system that you can use to move around campus and to parking areas, or to the Summerville/Cyber campuses.
