The Department of Family Medicine at MUSC was one of the first
University-based departments in an American medical school.
The tradition of excellence that marked the inception of
the program continues today. Building on the initial mission
to train future teachers of family medicine, the MUSC Department
and residency program continues a legacy of innovation and
scholarly work that has adapted to meet the challenges of
a shifting health care environment. The Department’s
commitment to community-based education culminated in the
recent establishment of a community residency site at the
Trident Hospital. The spirit of cooperation with our community
colleagues will continue as we expand opportunities to include
residents in community-based experiences that will mirror
their future practices. In conjunction with this community
experience, residents and faculty maintain an environment
of evidence-based decision making, personal insight through
such programs as Balint Training, and academic inquiry that
will keep the MUSC Department of Family Medicine on the
leading edge of family medicine.
