PCOM Georgia Focus

The primary focus of PCOM Georgia is to recruit and educate students from Georgia and the surrounding states. PCOM Georgia seeks to retain graduate osteopathic medicine physicians, pharmacists, physical therapists, biomedical scientists, medical laboratory scientists, and other healthcare professionals in the Southeast to serve the health needs of the region and to advance the healthcare professions. PCOM Georgia encourages graduates to serve where the need is greatest - inner cities and rural areas with severe physician shortages.
