Charleston Area Medical Center/CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine Program
About This Program
At CAMC we provide care to an underserved population of patients with a broad array of psychiatric conditions which allows our residents ample exposure during their training. We offer a diverse range of elective rotation opportunities in various subspecialty fields. Our residents receive robust training in Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and we are restarting our Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) service soon. We would love to answer any questions about our program or the Charleston area!
