Why is GHS seeking to increase physician productivity with USC, rather than one of the nearer Upstate universities, such as Clemson or Furman?
Neither Clemson nor Furman University offer MD programs. While both those universities have been important partners in numerous education and research endeavors, GHS’ partner for medical education has been the University of South Carolina since 1991. Expanding the existing partnership is the most efficient way to address those needs because a substantial infrastructure is already in place.
