We appreciate your interest in the General Psychiatry Residency program of Palmetto Health Alliance and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine . We are proud of our program and are committed to ensuring it remains at the forefront of the ever-changing fields of medicine and psychiatry, encompassing the latest developments in medicine and health care delivery systems.
Psychiatry is truly a dynamic discipline.
There continues to be rapid advances in our understanding of psychiatric illness and wellness. Healthcare delivery systems are rapidly evolving as well, with managed care the norm rather than the exception. This is having a great impact on psychiatric education and patient care. Despite these changes, we believe it is important to continue to recognize the uniquely personal and emotional nature of illness. Our specialty remains at the forefront of medicine's effort to treat the whole patient, including biologic, social and psychological dimensions.
