Peds Primary Care Residency Program

Since 2011, the Pediatric Primary Care Residency (PCR) at MUSC has prepared residents to care for children in an outpatient setting and in the community. Our trainees capitalize on the intensive training opportunities afforded by our comprehensive regional pediatric quaternary hospital, balancing that with extended community-based rotations providing direct primary care. This results in a well-rounded training with strong foundational primary care skills backed by exposure to an incredible breadth of pathology and disease severity.

Program Overview

We take three residents per year. We aim to recruit people with a passion for primary care who look to impact child wellness in their clinics and beyond into their communities. Intern year is integrated with the categorical residents. During second and third year, PCR residents spend 3-4 months seeing patients in varied primary care settings. PRC residents and categorical residents attend Academic Half Day for core didactic education. The PCR also provides supplemental didactics. More detailed information about our curriculum and partner sites is available.

FAQ

Yes! PC residents are welcome to join the global health, advocacy, or medical education tracks. Many of our residents have been highly involved in these educational experiences.

Yes! Our graduates tell us resoundingly that their training provided adequate inpatient and ICU time.

Well. Having an integrated intern year allows the two program’s residents to be very cohesive. The PC residents feel fully part of the MUSC program, and also enjoy the experience of having a small group with shared career interest.
