ATHENS – The University of Georgia’s School of Medicine will generate between $1.8 billion and $2.3 billion in cumulative economic impact on the state of Georgia by 2040, according to an analysis conducted by the nationally recognized consulting firm Tripp Umbach. The report emphasizes improvements to health care, research expansion and job creation across the state as the main drivers of economic return.
“We are excited about the anticipated economic benefits to the state of Georgia from UGA’s new School of Medicine,” UGA President Jere W. Morehead said. “The medical education we provide and the life-saving discoveries we produce will not only improve health but also generate an outstanding return on investment for state resources.”
