Family Medicine Residency Program at MUSC Health Florence

The mission of the Family Medicine Residency Program at MUSC Health Florence is to prepare family medicine physicians to provide high quality, comprehensive, patient-centered and compassionate care, and advance health equity in the communities they serve. The program has a special focus on addressing the needs of rural and underserved communities.

Residency, under the direction of Kourtney Osorio, M.D., will prepare physicians for any clinical environment through well-rounded training, diverse experiences, and direct practice. With limited primary care resources in the community, there are many opportunities to gain hands-on experience in real-world settings. The program will also encourage residents to direct their own education with faculty support and dedicated time to focus on electives.
