Chief Residents

Why MUSC: Staying at MUSC was the easiest decision! The residents and attendings are nothing but encouraging and supportive and will go far out of their way to help you achieve your goals. Between the exceptional primary care residency program and exposure to a huge variety of subspecialties, I know I will be well prepared to work as a pediatrician in the primary care setting. I've been in Charleston my whole life and it's the best place to work and live!

Why MUSC:  MUSC checked off many of my boxes because it was a stand-alone children’s hospital, offered a robust education in primary care and specialties alike, and was a medium-sized program with great mentorship aspects.  However, MUSC went above and beyond my “checked boxes”. It was a place where program leadership was invested in the success of each resident, not only professionally, but in all aspects of their lives. You could tell the residents genuinely enjoyed spending time with one another and considered each other family. On top of that, the city of Charleston was a bonus and never disappoints with fun activities to do!
