Is the MCG School of Medicine campus in Athens dependent on the Navy site?
The closure of the Navy Supply School provides a potential opportunity to secure clinical teaching facilities with excellent proximity to two major hospitals and classroom facilities that would meet preclinical teaching needs. But other alternatives remain. Tripp Umbach is recommending that an initial facility be developed on or adjacent to the University of Georgia campus which will house medical students no later than 2010. That facility will be used as a biomedical research facility for MCG/UGA faculty after the educational program moves to the Navy school site after 2012.
