There’s a different kind of medical school in Upstate South Carolina, where tomorrow’s doctors train alongside today’s physicians and all interdisciplinary healthcare team members from day one
The USC School of Medicine Greenville is a place where students learn using the latest clinical, information, and simulation technology and develop the leadership, clinical, and interpersonal skills essential to delivering the next generation of patient-focused health care with confidence and compassion.
Our aim is to transform medicine at its heart: the doctor and patient relationship. At the School of Medicine Greenville (SOMG), we believe that when you train physicians differently, they’ll treat patients differently. Our students are taught by experienced biomedical educators and clinical faculty from Prisma Health, and our integrated curriculum puts them to work in the field with EMTs from their very first week.
Our hands-on approach to physician training is: more immersive and observational; more holistic and interactive-based; more patient-centred and purposeful. We strive to educate compassionate future physician leaders to deliver the highest quality patient care, enhancing the health and wellness of the communities we serve. We’re making deliberate strides to inspire a new kind of doctor to make a difference in the lives of patients and communities across South Carolina, and beyond.
A new kind of doctor for a new kind of medicine
At SOMG, we’re training doctors with our sights set on a better tomorrow. Our curriculum is:
- Integrated to provide a blend of interactive experiences from the classroom to the community, starting with hands-on clinical training in the field.
- Designed to foster essential knowledge, diagnostic and problem-solving skills and lead to application, critical thinking and patient care.
Transforming medicine begins with a patient focus on more than just disease treatment, but prevention, wellness, lifestyle medicine and total health. We are committed to evidence-based, patient-centred care using a professional philosophy which stresses constructive communication and inter-professional, team-based care.
At the School of Medicine Greenville, the Mission is:
Educate. Innovate. Serve.
Where Lifestyle is Medicine
