University of South Carolina Floyd School of Medicine

We serve the people of South Carolina and beyond through exemplary biomedical education, transformative research and compassionate care for all.

The University of South Carolina Kay and C. Edward Floyd, M.D. School of Medicine was established with the purpose of improving the health of the people of South Carolina through medical education, research and the delivery of health care. We welcomed our first class of 24 medical students in 1977. During the past three decades, the Floyd School of Medicine has emerged as a national leader in prim

ary care medicine. Noted for our high-quality medical education, we provide our students with one-on-one instruction that lasts throughout their medical studies. A distinguished faculty features more than 250 basic scientists and clinicians bringing a variety of academic and research training to medicine. PRISMA Health Hospital houses the School's clinical practices, which is the SC Midlands region’s largest multi-specialty health care group. From the Department of Neurology's clinically advanced stroke care to the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine's designation as South Carolina's first Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home, our clinical faculty are providing world-class care in many areas of medicine. We invite you to join our Facebook community and follow the Floyd School of Medicine's impact on the health of South Carolinians.

Step inside the classroom with us! It's all about teamwork and training as our first-year medical students combined their talents in an active learning session. These are interactive and team-based learning opportunities, and a ton of fun for both students and faculty.
