With locations throughout Augusta and at satellite campuses in Athens, Albany, Rome and Savannah, the university’s ten colleges and schools have a truly statewide impact in Georgia.

Home to the Medical College of Georgia, the nation’s eighth largest and 13th-oldest medical school, the university’s Health Sciences Campus is at the forefront of health care innovation. Located in beautiful downtown Augusta and housing the state’s largest College of Nursing, the comprehensive College of Allied Health Sciences, The Graduate School, the School of Public Health and the state’s only dental school, The Dental College of Georgia, the Health Science Campus is also home to the state’s only public academic medical center.

The Georgia Cancer Center (GCC) at Augusta University brings together a team of researchers, clinicians, radiation oncologists, nurse navigators, and patient support staff to create a community fostering innovation and care focused on improving the lives of its patients.

As the official cancer center for the State of Georgia, GCC is focused on a path of rapid growth and development, with the goal of achieving National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation.

A critical need for successfully stewarding and building upon this momentum is the recruitment of the Associate Director of Community Outreach and Engagement to join the team.

GCC’s faculty, housed in freestanding clinical and research buildings, continue to collaborate, offering patient- centered approaches utilizing first-in-the-nation treatment protocols, an experimental therapeutics program, and specialized clinics for state-of-the-art drug and immunotherapy clinical trials. Basic and translational research is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) -NCI and includes Georgia’s only minority-focused research program. Education is also an essential part of the mission in training the next generation of physicians and scientists to continue the work that has only just begun.
