Prisma Health-University of South Carolina SOM Greenville Greenville Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated categorical IM program at Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital, a 746-bed tertiary referral center that also functions as the region's safety-net hospital, giving residents broad exposure across acuity and socioeconomic spectrums. The program is organized around three named pillars - progressive autonomy, purposeful curiosity, and individualized mentorship - operationalized through structured Pathways of Distinction (Primary Care, Fellowship, Hospitalist) that residents select before PGY2, plus in-house fellowships in Infectious Diseases, Pulmonary/Critical Care, and Gastroenterology that residents rotate alongside for scholarship exposure. Procedural training is emphasized (central/arterial lines, thoracentesis, paracentesis, LP, joint injections) and reinforced through a dedicated simulation center with POCUS training, while translational research is supported via protected annual scholarship blocks rather than positioned as the program's core identity. Outcomes span primary care, hospital medicine, and subspecialty fellowship (with a recently improved fellowship match rate), and the program explicitly values residents who invest in the local community and demonstrate genuine interest in the Greenville training environment.
