COLLEGE MISSION

 

The College of Medicine, as an integral part of the Medical University of South Carolina, operates to fulfill the  University’s education and research mission in a setting characterized by appreciation for diversity in learning and  teaching styles, values, interests and abilities. The college provides an environment for students and residents to  discover and learn through educational experiences in the basic and clinical sciences, and to prepare them to maintain lifelong excellence in the practice of medicine. In addition, the college provides programs, for South  Carolina physicians, to promote continuing education.
