Community Experience

The community pediatric hospitalist rotation for the MUSC PHM fellows occurs at the AnMed Health Women and Children’s campus in Anderson, South Carolina. AnMed serves as a clinical affiliate, where selected third and fourth year medical students complete their clinical training (https://anmedhealth.org/education/medical-student-education-program/musc-anmed-health-clinical-campus).

The rotation at AnMed provides a unique opportunity for the MUSC PHM fellows to experience a true community hospital, distant from tertiary medical centers, that still has substantial volume of general pediatric inpatients, a busy newborn nursery, along with appropriate emergency department consultation.

The pediatric hospitalist group with whom MUSC PHM fellows work are themselves faculty at the University of South Carolina, with their main department located at Prisma Health’s Children’s Hospital – Upstate. The AnMed site has many learners at the medical student and resident level, but the faculty are excited to have the opportunity to work with seasoned pediatric hospital medicine fellows.

Housing is provided nearby, and fellows are encouraged to participate in hospital-based committees as well as community activities sponsored by the hospital, as opportunities present themselves, and as suggested by the AnMed faculty.
