Or, students may arrange to stay with nearby family or friends. For security reasons, housing details will be provided to students at orientation. Questions may be directed to Donna Kern, MD (kerndh@musc.edu).
Students will be notified one week in advance by email to attend the mandatory clerkship Orientation / Academic Days / OSLE on the first 3 days of the rotation. In addition to clerkship guidelines and instructions, students will be issued laptop computers with online capability, printers & PDA's--to be used a research and learning tools and to produce required clerkship presentations and documents.
Dr. Sam Stone chose to practice in Chester primarily because
he was born and raised there. He feels it is important
to be involved not just in the medical care, but also the family
care of his patients - from babies to the geriatric population.
Dr. Stone strongly believes everyone should
be involved in community activities. He has organized a free
medical clinic in his community, the Good Samaritan Clinic,
and serves as its Director. He is very active in his church
and local schools (sports medicine for 2 high schools, educational
speaker in many schools). He is medical director for the
Senior Citizens' Day Care in Chester and medical advisor for
the Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program. Dr. Stone
is also involved in the Chester County Cancer Society and has
been a board member in the Senior Citizens' Program. A
graduate of Clemson University, Dr. Stone has been a Clemson
Stadium Pysician for the last 20 years! He also is the
coordinator/program chair of the Clemson Alumni Physicians (CAPS)
and plans the continuing medical education program each year.
