Prisma Health-University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville Greenville Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a four-year categorical Med-Peds program embedded within Prisma Health, the largest nonprofit health system in South Carolina, with training concentrated at Greenville Memorial Hospital and the adjoining Children's Hospital, supplemented by a distinctive Med-Peds-run hospitalist service at Greer Memorial Hospital. The curriculum alternates internal medicine and pediatrics every three months with an early categorical switch after the first block, an open adult ICU model that increases procedural and critical-care exposure, and a dedicated Community and Transitional Med-Peds ambulatory rotation connecting residents to primary care Med-Peds practices in the community. Graduates split roughly evenly among outpatient primary care, hospitalist practice, and fellowship, reflecting a program identity built around flexibility across the lifespan rather than a single fellowship or research pipeline; more than 40 Med-Peds faculty across subspecialties and hospital leadership signal that Med-Peds is structurally integrated into the health system rather than a peripheral track. The program emphasizes a tight-knit, mentorship-driven culture and values residents who embrace continuity across ages and care settings, from newborn nursery to adult critical care.
