the emergency medicine residency at palmetto health richland
The emergency medicine residency program of Palmetto Health has a long and noteworthy history. With its inception in 1974, it was one of only a dozen programs nationally that viewed emergency medicine as a bona fide specialty. Fully accredited and continuously evolving, the program continues to be a leader in the post-graduate training of emergency physicians.
The educational resources of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and the clinical services of Palmetto Health Richland — the only Level 1 Trauma Center in the 16-county Midlands region — provide the ideal setting for the training of future emergency medicine specialists. Palmetto Health Richland’s Emergency Department has experienced a steadily increasing annual patient census, with more than 82,000 patient visits per year.
A Message From the Program Director
The goal of this program is to empower each graduate with the skills required to practice quality emergency medicine and provide insight on how to balance career and personal goals. We provide residents with great clinical training from a stable and experienced faculty as well as guidance in managing the financial and personal challenges encountered after training.
We want our residents to not only be successful during training, but also happy in life.
