University of South Carolina School of Medicine 4.12

The University of South Carolina School of Medicine, http://www.med.sc.edu was established with the purpose of improving the health of the people of South Carolina through medical education, research and the delivery of health care. We welcomed our first class of 24 medical students in 1977.

During the past three decades, the School of Medicine has emerged as a national leader in primary care medicine. Noted for our high-quality medical education, we provide our students with one-on-one instruction that lasts throughout their medical studies. A distinguished faculty features more than 250 basic scientists and clinicians bringing a variety of academic and research training to medicine.

The Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group houses the School of Medicine's clinical practices. The Medical Group is the SC Midlands region’s largest multispecialty health care group. From the Department of Neurology's clinically advanced stroke care to the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine's designation as South Carolina's first Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home, our clinical faculty are providing world-class care in many areas of medicine.
