After positioning PCOM South Georgia for success during its inaugural year, Chief Academic Officer Michael J. Sampson, DO, FAOASM, will return to the classroom, his first passion, to educate future osteopathic physicians at PCOM Georgia’s Suwanee campus. Students, faculty and staff at PCOM South Georgia acknowledge and appreciate Dr. Sampson’s many contributions to the development of the osteopathic program in South Georgia.

According to PCOM President Jay S. Feldstein, DO ’81, “This transition will be a smooth process as Dr. Craver has been involved from the beginning in ensuring the success of our newest location. A 1987 graduate of PCOM in Philadelphia, Dr. Craver is committed to providing an excellent education for the 593 students enrolled in the osteopathic medicine programs in Moultrie and Suwanee.”
