Before you apply: five checks for this college
- Confirm the World Directory entry F0001920 yourself at wdoms.org; the entry describes the school as it reported itself, not its recognition anywhere.
- Ask the state medical board and ECFMG whether the school is currently recognised and whether its graduates are being registered this year.
- Ask your own home regulator, in writing, whether a degree from Medical College of Georgia is accepted for licensing at home (for Indian students: the NMC requires the whole course, internship included, at the same institution).
- Get the fee schedule and admission letter from the school's own office (som@georgiahealth.edu), not from an agent, and pay only to the school's account.
- Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

What we can confirm
- Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001920) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
- 49 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.0★ — read the full text below before deciding.
Verify before you pay anyone
- Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for United States of America yourself before paying anything.
- Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
- A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
- Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.
