To prospective teammates,

I’m the medical director for the Medical University of South Carolina Health in Orangeburg and Bamberg, South Carolina. I have been a part of Sound for over four years; it’s a great workplace! I’m proud of the emergency medicine practice we have built and welcome interest from physician assistants interested in learning more. I’d like to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider your next steps:

• We’re searching for physicians dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care. Our team is known for its reliability and easy-to-work-with nature.
