A Rich
Heritage
The Medical University of South Carolina has a rich
heritage. Its College of
Medicine, which has contributed to the healing arts for over a period of 173
years, pioneered in the clinical teaching of students in a hospital specifically
provided for this purpose and members of its faculty wrote some of the first
American medical textbooks. The honor roll of distinguished contributors to
medicine includes Sims (founder of American gynecology), Thomas (surgical
innovations), Strobel (epidemiology), Geddings (pathological anatomy), Wagner
(pathological and surgical anatomy), Parker (neurosurgery), Porcher (germ
theory), Chazal (heart surgery), and Waring (medical history). |
