Founded in 2000, GMCG is the nation's largest network of medical professionals and educators united to provide standardized clinical training to national and international medical graduates in preparation for U.S. residency. The organization, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia began as a collaborative effort to mitigate the country's growing physician shortage by helping recruit and train U.S. and foreign-born medical students. GMCG has directly supervised more than 15,000 medical student clinical rotation weeks to date.

"As we approach 2020 with an estimated 85,000 to 250,000 shortage of physicians, MELCO Investment's support of our work is allowing us to rapidly expand our capacity and address this critical situation," Dr. Cohen said. "While doing so, Greater Medical Center Group is simultaneously ensuring that all medical students, whether U.S. or foreign born, are properly equipped to deliver quality healthcare services within the U.S."

Dr. Cohen notes that the capital from MELCO will be used primarily to expand its current education initiatives and strengthen its affiliate partnerships. Efforts will focus on increasing the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) clinical rotations that GMCG currently offers in addition to contracting with more hospitals throughout the country to provide these services. Through their work, GMCG hopes
