Resident Handbook Introduction Letter of Committment/ Administration & Governance - Graduate Medical Education Programs | MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Medical education is a major component of the mission of the Medical University of South Carolina, the Medical University Hospital Authority and the College of Medicine. The Board of Trustees, the President of MUSC and the administrators, faculty and staff are committed to provide graduate medical education using the financial, educational and personnel resources necessary to ensure the highest quality programs. These graduate medical education programs will further our mission of educating future physicians for the State of South Carolina while providing the highest quality care for our patients. We pledge to emphasize coordinated care with community physicians and to take advantage of cooperative opportunities to work with other institutions to fulfill mutual educational objectives. We commit ourselves to provide graduate medical education programs that enable physicians in training to develop personal, clinical and professional competence under the guidance and supervision of the faculty and staff. The program directors will assure that patients receive safe, appropriate and humane care by resident physicians who will gradually assume responsibility for patient care based upon each trainee’s demonstrated clinical competence. We further commit to conduct these programs in compliance with the institutional and specific requirements of the ACGME, the JCAHO and in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. As a major research institution, MUSC will encourage residents to participate in a wide range of scholarly activities including research and publications.
