Students lottery in the fall of their second year into either an anchor track or J-track.
J-track is the group that stays in and around the ATL area, there are times where you leave for a rotation and youre bouncing around between hospitals and individual practices.
Those that lottery into an anchor track move to their site for all of 3rd year (you can stay at most sites for 4th year as well though some students move back to ATL or to their hometown because you can pretty much do 4th year anywhere you can find preceptors.
The anchors currently are as follows:
In GA - Columbus, Rome, Warner Robins, Dalton, Ellijay and Albany (the last 3 are new this year, Albany has students from MCG/GHSU as well)
In AL - Birmingham, Montgomery, Decatur, and Dothan (they tend to only take students with at least some ties to the state and we might lose some of these with the opening of ACOM in dothan)
In FL - West Palm
If you have specific questions about what hospital systems on which anchor feel free to ask.
