Prisma Health/University of South Carolina SOM Columbia (Columbia) Program
About This Program
Our program offers training across a Level 1 Trauma Center, community-based hospitals, and a dedicated surgery center that provides the full spectrum of orthopedic care. Located in our state capital, our program serves a diverse patient population-drawing from both the metropolitan area and the surrounding rural communities. Each year, we aim to send PGY-2 residents to the AO Basic Course, PGY-3 residents to a Spine course, and PGY-4 residents to the AO Advanced Principles Course.
