As part of the celebration, an essay contest in conjunction with the Southwest Georgia
Area Health Education Center is underway. Both high school and college students are
invited to respond to the question, “How can your generation work together to help
shape the future of health in South Georgia?” Scholarships in the amount of $500 each

be announced during groundbreaking festivities.
PCOM’s admissions department will begin offering information sessions in the region
to inform prospective students and college pre-health advisors about PCOM South Georgia.
Session dates will be posted on pcom.edu as they are planned.
On December 5, 2017, PCOM received initial approval from the American Osteopathic Association Commission
on Osteopathic College Accreditation to establish an additional location in South Georgia. Final approval to begin operations
will be granted following a visit to the new facility early in 2019. The aim of the
osteopathic medical program is to educate students from the region who are committed
to serving the health needs of their communities.
