Emergency Medicine Residency Program

Welcome to the Medical University of South Carolina’s Emergency Medicine Residency program!  Established in 2007, we are a three-year program with 10 residents per class. The goal when you complete this program is to become an excellent emergency medicine physician who is ready for independent practice out in the community, or in the academic world as well. We have a variety of paths you can take during your academic journey through our program, including global health, ultrasound, critical care, and pediatric emergency medicine – and you get to do all of this in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. We look forward to receiving your application and feel free to reach out to any of us for questions you may have.  

Please visit our section links below, which give further details on our application process, benefits, and rotation structure.
