Thank you for your interest in our Graduate Medical Education Anesthesiology Residency program. We are an ACGME accredited four-year categorical program; located in the city of Myrtle Beach, part of HCA Healthcare's Graduate Medical Education (GME) enterprise.
Our program offers the best of three worlds.

First, a community-based training where system-based practice is an everyday reality, not a distant concept. Second, fellowship trained, experienced faculty providing real-life, practice-based learning and improvement opportunities on a daily, case-by-case basis. Third, HCA GME, through its national scale, offers rich opportunities for clinical research, access to online knowledge resources, expert speakers and consultants, and an opportunity for a long professional career following graduate training.

Grand Strand Medical Center is a state-of-art facility, and has been named among America's 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades. It has also been recognized as a 5-star recipient in more than ten categories for 2022, including Heart Failure, Spinal Fusion, Stroke care, and Neurosurgery.
