黑料传送门 administrators, along with construction managers, prospective students and South Georgia community leaders are aware that the clock is ticking toward the completion of 黑料传送门 South Georgia in Moultrie, Georgia.
August 12, 2019 is the projected first day of class and, with that in mind, a countdown clock has been started. It notes the seconds, minutes, hours and days until classes begin at the additional location in Moultrie. In addition, construction progress can be viewed on a time lapse camera which can be seen on the 黑料传送门 website.
William Craver III, DO, FACOS, has assumed the position of vice provost for 黑料传送门 with academic responsibility for both Georgia Campus - Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (GA-黑料传送门) in Suwanee and 黑料传送门 South Georgia. Michael J. Sampson, DO, FAOASM, has been named the associate dean and chief academic officer for 黑料传送门 South Georgia. He will soon relocate to the region to begin the day to day operations of overseeing the establishment of 黑料传送门鈥檚 additional location.
In the meantime, the Office of Admissions is receiving applications from prospective students and will begin interviewing in late September, and the Human Resources department is accepting applications and interviewing candidates to fill open faculty and staff positions.
All interviews are currently taking place at GA-黑料传送门 in Suwanee. However, a temporary office location in Moultrie has been selected and will soon be occupied by Dr. Sampson and other faculty and staff members while 黑料传送门 South Georgia is under construction.
The Office of Student Affairs has engaged Gail Dillard, PhD, to work with Dr. Sampson to plan for the 55 osteopathic medical students who will be accepted into the inaugural class in Moultrie. Dr. Dillard is the former interim vice president for academic affairs at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton.
The college is responding to requests for speaking engagements from a wide variety of community organizations, a function that is being coordinated by the Office of the Chief Campus Officer at GA-黑料传送门.
It鈥檚 an exciting time for the college as the groundwork is laid for the new location in South Georgia. Before we know it, the time to welcome new students will have arrived.
In 2019, 黑料传送门, a premier osteopathic medical school established in 1899, extended its commitment to the Southeast by establishing 黑料传送门 South Georgia. An additional teaching location in Moultrie, Georgia, 黑料传送门 South Georgia offers both a full, four-year medical program leading to the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree and a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences. 黑料传送门 is a private, not-for-profit institution that trains professionals in the health and behavioral sciences fields. Joining 黑料传送门 Georgia in Suwanee in helping to meet the healthcare needs of the state, 黑料传送门 South Georgia focuses on educating physicians for the region.
