AnMed Health in Anderson, S.C., will become a branch campus of Charleston-based Medical University of South Carolina and take third- and fourth-year students from the school, according to a Greenville Online report.
Six third-year students will go to AnMed next year, and a total of 24 students will be in the program by 2017, according to the report. Students will rotate through different disciplines and see patients at AnMed's free clinic once a week.
To cover the program, AnMed will add two new faculty members.
"As the baby boomer generation ages, the need for well-trained physicians will continue to grow," Mike Tillirson, DO, CMO of AnMed Health, told Greenville Online. "It is our hope that many of the students who come to Anderson through this program will continue with their residency training at AnMed Health and eventually practice locally."
