We have been training lawyers, judges, lawmakers and governors since 1867 and have
remained true to our mission of teaching law through in-depth study, while supporting
research by faculty and staff that frequently is used to improve the lives of others
through legal reform.
For more than 30 years, our School of Medicine has been a leader in primary care education,
pioneering research and providing humanistic patient care. Our students are immediately
introduced to real-world health care settings and situations to make them master clinicians
committed to patient care. We also provide excellent health care to our communities
through our hospital partnerships.
After 20 years of training many of our third- and fourth-year medical students, Greenville
Hospital Systems partnered with us to create a whole new school serving the Upstate
of South Carolina and beyond. We are one of just two medical schools in the country
that trains you as an EMT in the first six weeks of your medical education. This introduction
to the world of medicine and real patient care skills are the foundation for your
medical education.
We are part of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy, which was formed in 2004 through
the integration of the Colleges of Pharmacy at the University of South Carolina in
Columbia and the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Students also
have the option of completing their last two years at Greenville Hospital System University
Medical Center. The combined resources of the two schools strengthens our ability
to educate our students to become leaders in the industry and in meeting the pharmacy
needs of our residents.
