The Georgia Campus of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine is going to be opening a Physician Assistant program.

With a shortage of Physician Assistants in Georgia, the Georgia campus of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (GA-PCOM) plans to open a physician assistant program, reports the Albany Herald.

"It's an exceptional opportunity for PCOM to expand its reach and provision of services to Georgia and the Southeast," Bryan Ginn, chief campus officer, said in a statement.

The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine has been training physicians for more than 100 years, and established the Suwanee campus in 2005.
