The MCG Faculty Senate is composed of elected representatives from the faculty at the Medical College of Georgia. It serves as an advisory body to the dean and provides a means for faculty participation and achievement of long-term goals of the college. It has established several standing and special committees which have a major impact on medical students and faculty.

As elected representatives of the faculty of the Medical College of Georgia, members of the faculty senate will:

  • Serve as a forum for the dissemination of information, and for the discussion and expression of opinion regarding matters of interest, concern or importance to the faculty.
  • Participate in the organization and governance of the faculty by naming and coordinating committees that oversee student issues such as admissions, student promotions and professionalism, student curriculum, and faculty issues such as promotions and tenure and recognition of outstanding performances.  Facilitate communication with the Dean of the Medical College of Georgia about faculty opinions and concerns.
