2019-2020 School of Medicine Bulletin


Welcome to the School of Medicine Academic Bulletin

School of Medicine-Columbia (Bulletin Home Image)In the past three decades, the University of South Carolina’s School of Medicine located in Columbia (USCSOM-Columbia) has emerged as a national leader in primary care medical education, pioneering research, and providing humanistic patient care. Founded in 1975, the USCSOM-Columbia campus is situated on a beautiful 100-acre suburban campus, just four miles from the main campus of the University of South Carolina. The School of Medicine’s 20 year affiliation with the Greenville Health System, South Carolina’s largest public hospital, was enhanced in 2011 with the formulation of a second four-year University of South Carolina School of Medicine, USCSOM-Greenville, located on the Greenville Memorial Hospital Campus. USCSOM-Greenville is separately accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education of the Association of American Medical Colleges, making the University of South Carolina one of only seven universities in the United States with two or more four-year campuses for medical education.
