It’s clear that the hard work, late nights, and rigorous studies have paid off for this dedicated group.
In a heartening trend, around 20.4% of graduates have chosen to stay in South Carolina for their residency training. This means that a substantial number of these future physicians are committed to serving their local communities. Even better, 14 students matched to residency programs specifically in Upstate South Carolina, ensuring that they will contribute to the health services in their home region.
Among them is Madison Stanley, who will be training as an OB-GYN at the local residency program held at Prisma Health and USC School of Medicine Greenville.

Additionally, students are set to match at respected health systems in Upstate South Carolina such as Spartanburg Medical Center and AnMed Health, showcasing the strong ties between the school and local medical facilities.

This aligns perfectly with ongoing efforts in South Carolina to address the shortage of primary care physicians in the state. The enthusiasm for family medicine indicates a promising shift towards a greater focus on holistic care and community health.
Although many students matched outside South Carolina, there’s a strong belief that they will return to practice in the state after their training. As these students step into their new roles, they are not just embarking on personal journeys, but also committing to a future where they can make a significant difference in the health and wellness of their communities.
