Morehouse School of Medicine Committed to Reducing Georgia's Physician Shortage
The Georgia Political Digest
Monday, March 24, 2008
Atlanta - As Georgia faces a critical shortage of physicians to serve its citizens, especially minority primary care physicians and general surgeons, Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is ready to step up to do its part in addressing this looming health-care crisis. The Atlanta-based medical school has developed a plan to increase class size by 35 percent over the next three years, moving from the present class size of 52 students to 70 students by 2011. Students admitted under this expansion will be exclusively Georgia residents. MSM is able to move quickly on expansion because it already has received approval to expand to 64 students under existing accreditation.
