The Department of Surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina is dedicated to providing the finest in patient care while also seeking new and innovative solutions to the many diseases treated in the wide ranging discipline of surgery. Our mission includes the education of future physicians through our active role in medical student education. Additionally, our residency programs provide outstanding training for future surgeons offering residents opportunities to pursue their own career goals through patient care experiences, research opportunities and active teaching by our diverse faculty.
The department includes the divisions of Cardiothoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Transplant Surgery, and Vascular Surgery. Each of these six services is based at the MUSC Medical Center.
