    ROSWELL, GA, March 17, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Trinity School of Medicine today announced a new partnership with South Georgia State College. This partnership will create a guaranteed pathway to an accredited medical school for South Georgia State College (SGSC) students seeking to become physicians and advance healthcare opportunities in Southeast Georgia.

"This new partnership will help SGSC students in the Bachelor of Biological Science program achieve their goal of becoming credentialed physicians," said Trinity School of Medicine president and CEO Steven Wilson. "Together, we have developed a streamlined admissions process with automatic acceptance for SGSC students who meet the required admission standards. It provides a clear, defined path to achieving a challenging goal. It also provides a unique opportunity for students to take their education abroad, gaining valuable global healthcare experience."

With limited medical schools, students need quality options and Trinity can meet that need."
