Southwest Georgia Area Health Education Center (SOWEGA-AHEC) is pleased to present the seventh edition of Health Careers in Georgia.  This publication is produced through the partnership of the Georgia Statewide AHEC Network.  We would like to thank all the people who contributed time, expertise, information and resources in support of this publication.  The researching and publishing of Health Careers in Georgia is funded significantly by a grant from Healthcare Georgia Foundation.  Created in 1999 as an independent, private foundation, the Foundation’s mission is to advance the health of all Georgians and to expand access to affordable, quality healthcare for underserved individuals and communities.  Other funders besides the six AHECs are the Medical College of Georgia and the State Office of Rural Health. The financial aid information was provided by the Georgia Student Finance Commission.  Photographs were contributed by the Georgia Institute of Technology, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, South Georgia Medical Center, University of Georgia School of Veterinary Medicine, Darton College, Albany Technical College, Emory University, Grady Memorial Hospital, John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital, Morehouse School of Medicine, Georgia Academy of Technical Wellness, Medical College of Georgia, Athens Technical College, Mercer University, Palmyra Medical Centers, and many Albany healthcare providers.  Thank you to the North Carolina AHEC Program for material from their 2004-2006 edition of North Carolina Health Careers.
