MUSC Presidential Scholars 2004-05
The Presidential Scholars Program brings together selected students from the university's six college to explore the complex social, political, and human issues that shape the delivery of health care services in South Carolina and the nation.The scholars address issues that transcend their disciplines and professional boundaries. In doing so, these students develop new perspectives on important health care professionals and can become leaders of health care change.
