Welcome message from our Program Director

Thank you for your interest in our Endocrinology Fellowship at Grand Strand Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The hospital is a 403-bed acute care hospital with award winning programs in cardiovascular care, orthopedic surgery and stroke care. We are affiliated with Mercer University, University of South Carolina and Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM), providing access to library resources, research support and the opportunity to work with medical students. Grand Strand is home to training programs in Anesthesiology, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Transitional Year and Hospice & Palliative Care.

We are excited about our new program and feel our hospital and clinic setting are ideal for training the next generation of Endocrinologists. We hope that you will consider training with us here at the beach.
