We are committed to the overall mission of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in addressing the primary health care problems of the citizens of our state. In the Department of Ophthalmology, we will make our greatest impact on the primary eye care problems of our patients and will focus on the prevention of vision impairment and blindness. Our top priority is to provide a positive environment for teaching of all residents and students. Our goal is to train residents to become excellent primary care ophthalmologists, skilled in an array of surgical techniques. To achieve this goal, we have developed a strong relationship with the William Jennings Bryan Dorn Veterans Administration Hospital where residents provide primary eye and surgical care with faculty supervision.
Every rotation has faculty participation.
We provide an extensive lecture series and grand rounds presentations. Educational activities abound. The ophthalmology residency program at Palmetto Richland is fully accredited by Residency Review Committee in Ophthalmology. Here we accord a dynamic experience that nurtures your career objectives. You will be working with congenial people while serving an inviting community .
