MCG is the nation’s 13th oldest medical school, has the 10th largest class size in the U.S. and is the state’s only public medical school. In addition to housing the state’s only college of Dental Medicine, GRU’s College of Allied Health Sciences and Graduate Nursing degree programs are the largest of their kind in the state.

GRU graduates are among the best-prepared in the country, significantly impacting the health care, education and research workforce statewide and beyond. The university addresses current and emerging health care needs, educating highly skilled professionals in a te! chnologically advanced environment. These technological advanc! es include simulation training, distance-learning and Internet-based instruction, all of which have vastly increased access to a GRU education.

Georgia Regents University also houses a thriving research enterprise, focusing on areas including neuro and behavioral sciences, cardiovascular biology, cancer, regenerative and reparative medicine, preventative health, and personalized medicine and genomics. Recent breakthroughs include selective suppression of the immune system, removing memories without damaging brain cells and inhibiting a protein that promotes cancer growth. The enterprise was recently named one of the nations’ top 15 places to work by The Scientist , and its sponsored research funding has increased 146 percent in the past decade. Georgia Regents University has also partnered with neighboring federal, military and veteran facilities to develop innovative research and educational programs.

The enterprise’s situation as the state’s academ! ic health center ensures access statewide and beyond to the highest-quality health care, the newest biomedical breakthroughs and cutting-edge technology. Its integrated and closely aligned Georgia Regents Health System includes the Georgia Regents Medical Center, specializing in the needs of the acutely ill in an ethnically diverse region; the award-winning Georgia Regents Children’s Hospital of Georgia, the second-largest children’s hospital in Georgia; the Georgia Regents Cancer Center, the first of its kind in Georgia to offer Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials; and the Georgia Regents Medical Associates, a multi-specialty group that is the largest of its kind in the region. These facilities, which include more than 80 specialty clinics, host over 500,000 patient visits annually.

As a pioneer in the delivery of Patient and Family Centered Care, Georgia Regents Health System collaborates with patients and their families in every aspect of treatment. The camp! us is also characterized by the extensive volunteerism of staff, studen! ts and faculty locally, regionally and worldwide.

Such a mutually beneficial relationship serves everyone’s interests. For example, GRU and the Health System have contributed greatly to ensuring continued economic growth throughout the region, supporting Augusta’s inclusion in Forbes Magazine 2009 list of top 50 “getting richer” and “fastest-recovering” cities. Clearly, Georgia Regents University and Health System are critical partners for the success of the region and the state.

Led by Dr. Ricardo Azziz, Georgia Regents University is the fourth comprehensive research university within the State and is on a fast track toward becoming one of the nation’s leading institutions of higher learning.
