Prisma Health/University of South Carolina SOM Greenville (Seneca) Program
About This Program
Our program is the only residency program located in rural Seneca, SC. Our residents work closely with core faculty and community attendings for all required rotations. Most choose their elective experiences locally as well but have access to larger affiliated hospitals for more specialized experiences if desired. We follow a fully longitudinal three-year curriculum wherein each resident rotates experiences every one to two weeks. We have also received Osteopathic Recognized by the ACGME.
