The University of South Carolina School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics/Palmetto Health Residency Training Program is a fully ACGME accredited three-year program with 9 residents at each level.

Our teaching focuses on the belief that every pediatrician, whether academician or practitioner, should first be a well-trained generalist. Our inpatient and outpatient programs are directed by academic generalists, augmented by subspecialists, and based on continuity care in the private setting as the best model for learning and delivering health care. Our commitment to teaching is demonstrated by our Pediatric Board pass rates, which have been higher than the national average for the past nine years. The innovative programs in advocacy and practice management that are 
offered provide residents with the experience to function as a child advocate and 
manage a practice in today's medical business climate.

The Children's Hospital of Palmetto Health is a 170 bed, state-wide pediatric referral center that attracts patients from all 46 counties in South Carolina. Each year Children's Hospital cares for more than 73,000 infants, children and adolescents through its inpatient and outpatient facilities.
