The Medical University of South Carolina has served the citizens of South Carolina since 1824. It has expanded from a small private college for the training of physicians to a state university with a medical center and six colleges for the education of a range of health professionals, biomedical scientists and other health-related personnel. The Medical College of South Carolina was incorporated in December 1823, as a private institution of the Medical Society of South Carolina. By faculty resolution in 1881, the Medical College created a department of pharmacy that was the first of its kind in the South. The college changed its name to the Medical University of South Carolina in 1969.
