Why choose USC for your M.D. degree?
The school offers:
- A high quality, one-on-one learning environment
- The latest wireless technologies and advanced telemedicine
- Opportunity to work with GE Healthcare's LOGIQ E portable ultrasound equipment
- A comprehensive medical library with the most up-to-date electronic resources and a full complement of texts and journals
- The option of completing your final two years of training at Palmetto Richland in Columbia or the Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center in the Upstate.
The School of Medicine also offers master's and doctorate degrees in biomedical science, and master's degrees in genetic counseling, rehabilitation counseling, and nurse anesthesia. Consider that:
- The Genetic Counseling program is one of the most competitive graduate programs at the University
- The Genetic Counseling program is the main conduit for genetic counseling information in the world
- Since 1997, graduates of the school's Master of Nurse Anesthesia program have scored significantly higher than the national average on the National Certification Exam; 37 percent have achieved a perfect score on the exam.
- The school's biomedical researchers are searching for cures to the chronic conditions that affect us most -- hypertension, obesity, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
The school's student-centered focus is its competitive advantage. At South Carolina, you're more than a number--your potential as a future clinician or scientist is valued. Add to that the rich cultural and lifestyle options afforded by the greater University and the Midlands of South Carolina, and you will have truly made one of the best decisions of your life.
