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 VSAS APPLICATION SYSTEM. Please refer to our policy for acceptance of visiting medical students. We regret that there are no exceptions to this policy.
Two rotation maximum if accepted. Incomplete applications will be denied.
Your elective requests will be honored in order of preference after all Medical College of Georgia students have received their elective assignments. Once a decision has been made, you will be notified via email. Accepted students will be required to complete additional requirements and trainings upon acceptance.
