MCG Curriculum Office

The MCG 3+ Curriculum is designed to create residency-ready medical students who are prepared for the variety of career options that exist in the healthcare world of the 21^st century.  It offers students individualized medical education options, while ensuring continued achievement of MCG’s established competency-based objectives.

Beginning in early 2019, a group of faculty and curriculum leaders met and began to discuss redesigning the curriculum with a focus on creating residency-ready graduates.  Building on the success of the recent integration of the material in years 1 and 2, the decision was made to develop a curriculum that was case-based with early clinical exposure in the Preclerkship phase and more flexibility and options in the Clerkship and Enrichment phases.  After many meetings, a few workshops and brainstorming sessions, and one pandemic pause, the MCG 3+ curriculum was launched in the fall of 2020.

The MCG 3+ program, which launched in Fall 2020, creates individualized medical education options for our students, while ensuring continued achievement of MCG’s established MD program competencies.

Beginning with the Class of 2024, in addition to core MCG 3+ curriculum, students will have three career-enhancing pathways from which to choose.
