The program strives to train and nurture our residents to be competent, compassionate and forward-looking professionals who will lead the way for tomorrow’s healthcare.

Our dedicated and experienced teaching faculty continually seeks to ensure that all our residents receive high-quality and safe clinical training, whilst also providing the guidance, resources and support required for them to develop their full potential as specialist physicians. Through program faculty development, the educators are able to enhance their evaluation and teaching skills and learn new ways to educate residents in the ever-changing world of medical education.

Palmetto General Hospital Family Medicine residents aim to deliver excellent patient care, uphold the public service ethos, and always place the patient’s interests first. Residents participate in 9 inpatient adult medicine rotations, 5 rotations dedicated to the care of children, 2 rotations in the musculoskeletal systems, and 3 rotations in obstetrics and gynecology, making them well rounded in the foundations of family medicine. The residents also receive guidance in health systems management, behavior health, radiology, and quality improvement.
