of South Carolina and beyond through exemplary medical education, research that matters
and quality patient care initiatives.
Our M.D. program and graduate programs are helping grow a pipeline of skilled health care professionals and biomedical scientists
who will help advance the health of our state, our nation and beyond.
Our programs take full advantage of the University of South Carolina's status as a

Our faculty members help staff the Prisma Health-Midlands Medical Group, the largest
