In 2014, Dr. Schreiner returned to Charleston and joined MUSC as a faculty member in the Division of General Internal Medicine.

In 2018, he was awarded a K23 grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases entitled, “Improving the Diagnosis of Liver Disease in Primary Care Patients with Abnormal Liver Function.” With this five-year grant, Dr. Schreiner is working to develop a clinical decision tool to help primary care physicians recognize and treat chronic liver disease in its early stages when interventions are most effective.

We are all extremely proud of Dr. Schreiner’s accomplishments and congratulate him on this honor.

Safety Heroes

A patient scheduled for a test at the Pulmonary and Rheumatology clinic suddenly became unresponsive. The nurses noted the patient was pulseless and immediately called for help. Care team members in the clinic sprung into action providing chest compressions, placing the patient on the Zoll AED, and calling 911. Deidra, Chris, and Rick were able to revive the patient by practicing high quality basic life support (BLS) skills, including delivering a shock to the patient. EMS transporters safely transported the patient to the emergency room for further evaluation. Their quick action and coordination made a real difference in this patient’s outcome. Thank you to the team: Brian Quick, RT; Rick Bennett, LPN; Deidra Anderson, RN; Katie Benfield, RN; Kristine Ritenour, RN; and Chris Kling, RT.
