The College of Medicine at MUSC

The Medical University of South Carolina's College of Medicine is leading the way in all areas of the MUSC mission – medical education, patient care, and biomedical research – at our main campus in downtown Charleston and across the state. The largest and oldest academic medical center in South Carolina, we serve a broad group of more than 740 medical students, 950 trainees in residency and fellowship programs, and patients throughout our state and beyond.

MUSC prepared me well for the next level. My experience here provided me with foundational knowledge and helped me to develop the skills necessary to succeed in a career in medicine.
