Interesting. I always wondered what they would do with the UGA/ MCG thing. It’s becoming the UGA medical school.

With its vote on Feb. 13, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents authorized the University of Georgia to establish a new independent School of Medicine in Athens. The initiation of a school of medicine at Georgia’s flagship university comes at a time when the state faces a significant shortage of medical professionals. In recent years, Georgia’s population has surged to approximately 11 million residents, straining existing medical infrastructure and resulting in longer wait times for appointments and reduced access to care. Georgia—the nation’s eighth largest state—is forecasted to experience further population growth in the coming years, while nearly one-third of the state’s physicians are nearing retirement.

AI will replace doctors and this new school will be grand opening grand closing.

Curious as to how many they will accept. As part of MCG they took in about 60 a year. I'd guess they'd grow to about 150.
Athens Regional, from my recollection, isn't large enough to support clinical rotations for a class that large. I'd imagine they will partnership with St. Mary's and a few other community hospitals from surrounding counties
