In the Department of Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, we take seriously our responsibilities of patient care, research, and education. In fact, the latter priorities support the former, as we train excellent physicians who will both treat patients and pursue new and creative ways of caring for the population.

We have a tremendous faculty with a wide range of interests, including world leaders in fields such as Cardiology, Gastroenterology, and Rheumatology. Our residents are bright and compassionate individuals, and we have the privilege of working with the medical students at the Medical University of South Carolina.
