Program highlights
- Connect to the integrated longitudinal lifestyle medicine curriculum and point-of-care ultrasound training; both are named program strengths (there are also Lifestyle Medicine and Ultrasound electives).
- Ask about the high-functioning clinic model: the clinic follows the AAMC '10+3' model, gives each resident a panel from day one, and was selected for the AFMRD 'Clinic First' Collaborative.
- Underserved and unique populations: dedicated experiences at the Greenville Free Clinic, Greenville County Detention Center and Prisma's Mobile Health Unit.
- Procedural scope is explicit (obstetrics with 124 program deliveries in 2024-25, about 25 per resident, IUD/Nexplanon, colposcopy, joint injections, skin procedures, ultrasound); ask how procedural volume fits your goals.
- Ask about the no-scheduled-24-hour-call model and the wellness/balance emphasis, and about the Family Medicine Teaching Service, a full-scope service covering adults, obstetrics, pediatrics and newborns.
- If sports medicine interests you, mention the affiliated primary care sports medicine fellowship and the sports medicine rotation working alongside its faculty and fellows.
