Impact of a Primary Care Focused Regional Medical Campus on Recruitment into Primary Care Residencies

Abstract

AnMed Health is a community based, non-profit hospital system in Anderson, South Carolina with a single residency in Family Medicine. In July 2014, a class of twelve third year medical students associated with Medical University of South Carolina-Charleston (MUSC-C) and Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine-Carolinas Campus (VCOM-CC) began their clinical training at AnMed. Since that time, 48 medical students have completed their clinical training at AnMed Health, and 75% of them have entered primary care residencies.
