Georgia

Georgia offers residents a blend of urban living and country life with a touch of old-fashioned southern charm. The state is known for its historic sites, variety of musical traditions, parks, and diverse wildlife population. Attractions include the Masters Golf Tournament, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, Stone Mountain, and Providence Canyon State Park. NYU Langone Dental Medicine's partners in Georgia are the Ben Massell Dental Clinic, the Grady Health System, and Good Samaritan Atlanta, all of which are located in metropolitan Atlanta, the capital city of Georgia. According to a study released in 2016 by the Brookings Institution, Atlanta has the largest disparity between rich and poor of any major city in the country. The ratio between the income of the wealthiest 5 percent of Atlanta households - those making $306,307 or more a year - and the bottom 20 percent - those making $16,927 or less - is significantly higher than any other American city. NYU Langone Dental Medicine and its partners help to ensure equitable dental care while enhancing and honing the skills of postdoctoral dental practitioners.
