Healthcare System Overview

An In-Depth Look into the Healthcare System

A Practice Rooted in Academic Excellence

As Clinical Pathology Division Chief, your practice will be rooted in one of Georgia’s most vital academic medical centers. Wellstar MCG Health serves as the clinical hub for Augusta University’s Medical College of Georgia, combining the resources of a 478-bed adult hospital, the 154-bed Children’s Hospital of Georgia, the Georgia Cancer Center, and the affiliated Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center. Together, these facilities form a comprehensive care network that spans everything from Level I trauma services to advanced pediatric subspecialty care.

You will lead within a department that is deeply integrated into the life of this health system. The recently established Core Laboratory anchors the institution’s diagnostic capabilities, processing more than three million tests annually. This investment in infrastructure reflects a forward-looking culture that values innovation and precision, ensuring you have the tools needed to support high-quality patient care.

The system’s mission extends beyond patient treatment to education and discovery. As the state’s only public medical school, Augusta University plays a central role in training the next generation of physicians and advancing research across Georgia. Pathology is at the heart of this mission, linking clinical medicine to scientific discovery.
