I’ve been impressed by the intentionality and kindness of faculty members, pre-clinical faculty to physicians, who welcome me into their practice and always genuinely want to see students grow.

“
Charleston is my home and MUSC quickly became my family. MUSC has given me the ability to treat the same individuals who have inspired me to become a physician and has molded me to becoming an equipped physician of the future.

“
Once you’re a student here, you get to be a part of a whole new family – one that not only wants you to succeed, but also equips you with the tools necessary to do so.

Stephen Patrick, fourth-year medical student

“
The charm of downtown Charleston drew me in, but the residents made this program my first choice. Even still, my intent was to return home after residency. Then when deciding on my first attending position, I couldn’t turn down a chance to stay at MUSC in a department with an amazing group of mentors!

I had the most incredible experience here as a medical student. I received an unparalleled medical education, met some fantastic people including faculty and peers, and, most importantly, grew so much as a person through it all.
