Vol. 59, No. 1 Produced by the Division of Institutional Relations Design: Sharon Jones/Leah Sullivan A Guide for the Reader This catalog represents a compendium of all the educational and training programs offered at the Medical Col- lege of Georgia. The catalog is divided into sections beginning with general information about the College, then a section on each of the various schools and programs. The reader is urged to first examine the General Information Section, since much of the material is applicable to all the College's programs and there- fore not repeated in the separate sections which follow. An example is the information on housing, on classification of non-resi- dent students and other information which applies uniformly throughout the College. No attempt is made to provide an exhaustive, page-by-page listing of contents. Since each section follows a fairly standardized format and is divided by various subheadings, the table of contents is designed only to provide a general reference guide. There is an alphabetical listing of the faculty in the final section of the book. Also included is a listing of Faculty by Schools and Departments. "All matriculation charges, board, room rent or other charges listed in this catalog are subject to change at the end of any quarter."
