A partnership between the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia has been formalized. The goal is to expand medical education in the state. The Georgia Board of Regents approved Tuesday a memorandum of understanding between the two campuses. The agreement seals the deal on a joint MCG-UGA campus in Athens, where UGA is based. The University System of Georgia is trying to produce more doctors to fill an expected statewide shortage of 2,500 physicians by 2020.
