Psychiatry Residency Greenville - Program Details

Program Mission & Vision Statement

The Prisma Health/University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville Psychiatry Residency Program strives to provide an educational environment where resident physicians can develop the expertise necessary to become competent, compassionate, conscientious, and patient-centered psychiatrists who are academic, clinical, and community leaders.  Our program’s mission closely aligns with the institutional promise to inspire health, serve with compassion, and be the difference.  We strive to develop future leaders, scholars, and clinician-educators by way of our rigorous academic curriculum and exposure to a myriad of core and subspecialty fields in psychiatry.  We expect to see our future psychiatrists flourish in this field, and accomplish these goals through mentoring, educational opportunities, and supervision in an environment that promotes cultural humility, inclusivity, and personal well-being. 

Our Goals for Residents

The Greenville Psychiatry Residency Program strives for excellence in the training of psychiatric residents. Residents who flourish in our program embody these goals throughout their training:

  • Provide compassionate clinical care to patients and families
  • Embrace the role of educator with medical professionals, patients, families, and the community
  • Demonstrate mature judgment
  • Achieve extensive knowledge about diagnosis, etiology and treatment of all psychiatric disorders and common neurological disorders seen in adults
  • Foster familiarity with current literature and the ability to interpret and apply literature to clinical practice
  • Cultivate awareness of personal limitations and how to seek supervision
  • Recognize the necessity of continuing development and life-long learning throughout their professional careers
  • Understand and appreciate the value of scholarship through the creation of longitudinal scholarly activity through residency
  • Appreciate and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in their practice and communities
  • Innovate novel approaches in the expansion of psychiatric care to our community
  • Serve the community through volunteerism

We seek to ensure that our graduating residents have sufficient knowledge and skill to evaluate, diagnose and treat adults and their families in individual practice and by the leadership of the treatment team. The graduates will critically evaluate the expanding literature on developing biological, psychological, family, social, and cultural treatments and adapt their practice to reflect the growth of the field.
