The new Athens campus of the Medical College of Georgia has a new chief.

Dr. Barbara L. Schuster comes from Wright State University's Boonshoft School of Medicine in Ohio.

The expansion of Augusta-based MCG is part of the school's plan to increase its class size 60 percent to 1,200 by 2020 to help address a doctor shortage in Georgia.

MCG is Georgia's only public medical school.
