Internal Medicine Residency

About the Residency

HopeHealth is collaborating with the Medical University of South Carolina – Regional Network and their new Internal Medicine Residency to bring additional access to care to the HopeHealth community.

Beginning in July 2024, four internal medicine residents from MUSC-RN joined HopeHealth. Each resident is a licensed physician and will be completing a portion of their three-year residency at our facility. In addition to the patients they will be seeing in the clinic, they will also rotate with our Behavioral Health Department.

Each July, four new residents join the program.
