These future physicians are one step closer to serving communities across Georgia thanks to a generous donation from Southwell in Tifton!

Each incoming DO '30 student recently received a Littmann Classic III stethoscope presented by Southwell President and CEO Christopher Dorman. The stethoscopes included a tag bearing the message: “Training Meets Commitment" and a note congratulating them for starting medical school.

Students say being handed their first medical instrument made everything feel real! We are of this group already.

PCOM honors and celebrates Juneteenth—the day marking the end of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19, 1865, that Union soldiers, led by General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the American Civil War had ended and that the enslaved were now free–more than two years after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves.

Regular college operations will be closed on Thursday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

It’s a wrap on this week’s Opportunities Academy (OA)!

From learning about the college application process and interview tips, to networking with health professionals, to simulated “patient encounters,” clinical skills practice, CPR and Stop the Bleed training, it was a busy week for our high schoolers—and now OA graduates.

We’re of all the hard work put into making this year’s program not just a success but a fun learning experience!

PCOM South Georgia's Opportunities Academy is in full swing!

Local high school students interested in science and heath care have spent the beginning of this week exploring how suture, wrap an ankle, check blood pressure, perform CPR and so much more—all through hands-on activities and mentorship from our PCOM South Georgia students and faculty.

Second-year medical students in this month's culinary medicine course came together to learn the benefits of cooking at home from David Green, PCOM Chef Manager!

This elective class includes nutrition and biochemical topics to go along with the cooking lessons so that students can learn to prepare dishes with different nutritional values and understand how to select healthier food options.
