Family Medicine Residency - McLeod Health

McLeod Family Medicine Residency –
Truly Unique Training

Our nationally recognized program offers community-based, training as the only residency program in a 453-bed regional referral medical center. Well-rounded residents leave with training in advanced ICU, geriatrics, obstetric and pediatric skills. Residents benefit from a strong emphasis on procedures — such as colonoscopy, EGD and central line placement – with an ultrasound curriculum, specialty clinics and classroom instruction. Our residents handle high volume inpatient and outpatient settings, while receiving hands-on experience in population health challenges.

Our Mission Statement

The mission of McLeod Health is to improve the overall health and well-being of people living within South Carolina and eastern North Carolina by providing excellence in health care. The McLeod Family Medicine Residency Program supports that mission by fulfilling our own mission.

The mission of McLeod Family Medicine Residency Program is to graduate skilled physicians whose commitment to intensive training in caring for high-acuity patients prepares them to practice comprehensive and compassionate, full-scope Family Medicine, particularly in rural or under-served settings.
Family Medicine Remains Healthcare’s Cornerstone A Message from Our Program Director

Even in these turbulent times for healthcare, Family Medicine remains the cornerstone of healthcare. More patients identify a “family doctor” as “their own” than any other specialty in medicine. The bonds that develop between a doctor and his/her patient are built on concern, compassion and probably a continuity history of some duration.

In this competitive world of healthcare it is imperative that the “learners” be given the foundation to be able to develop those bonds with their patients. To be competitive, the practitioner of today has to learn management skills, administrative skills and knowledge of how to work in systems of healthcare. At McLeod Family Medicine we can prepare you to meet these challenges as well as provide you with a firm foundation in delivery of medical care.

This is the only residency program in this 453 bed locally-owned, not-for-profit hospital. McLeod Regional Medical Center serves as a regional referral center for approximately 1 million people in the northeast corner of South Carolina. We are located near intersection of I-95 and I-20.

When you visit our program, you will sense that “family” is central to what we do here. Residents, faculty, staff and families are included in many of our activities. In addition, our residents are given considerable support for their own personal growth and development while here. We feel this is extremely important considering the stress and workload that is part of any residency experience.

We welcome you to the McLeod Family Medicine Residency Program!
