The interns of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Hopkins” have nothing on the residents of the McLeod Family Medicine Residency Program. Though they are not on a constant surgical rotation or enduring the high-energy pace of an emergency room rotation with massive traumas every five minutes, they do work in the trenches of family medical care, treating real people living in the Pee Dee. Sometimes they even make house calls.

South Carolina, and especially the Pee Dee, needs to continue efforts to make sure our residents get the education they need.
