Drs. David Clark and Sarah Jenkins have been named Residents of the Month for October! 🍁

Dr. David Clark, a PGY-1 in Internal Medicine, was nominated for his kindness, professionalism, and excellent patient care. His respectful bedside manner, strong medical knowledge, and compassion are exceptional. With less than a full month of residency training, he managed a serious medical illness with maturity and competence far beyond his level of training.

Dr. Sarah Jenkins, a PGY-4 in Orthopaedics and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, was recognized for consistently going above and beyond for her patients. She is kind, caring, hardworking, and extremely knowledgeable. She is an amazing and helpful resident who is quick to solve problems and cares deeply for her patients.

Congratulations to Drs. Clark and Jenkins. Thank you for your dedication and helping us change what's possible for those we serve!

MUSC’s Healing Stitches Crochet Club was founded by College of Medicine students Sarisha Menon and Gloria Kim to create a fun, welcoming environment where students, faculty, and staff can learn to crochet while giving back to patients at MUSC and the local community.

What started as a relaxing hobby is now a full-fledged club with over 70 members who crochet hats, blankets, beanies, and soft toys for patients in need.

The club recently partnered with Knitted Knockers, a national organization that provides knitted breast prostheses to women who have undergone mastectomies.

Their goal is to make and distribute the prostheses to every MUSC breast cancer treatment clinic in the Charleston area.

We’re grateful to our students for generously sharing their time and talent to bring comfort and care to others.

We’ve received a major renewal for the highly competitive Digestive Disease Research Core Center grant!

Led by Dr. Don Rockey, this prestigious NIH grant was successfully renewed for the next five years to continue supporting research on digestive and liver diseases here at MUSC.

Dr. Abi Siva saw a critical gap in cancer care that couldn’t be ignored.

There are currently no clear treatment options for women with both triple-negative breast cancer and heart disease. One of the main cancer drugs can’t be used safely, and most clinical trials exclude patients with heart conditions altogether. That means doctors are left to make tough decisions with limited guidance.

Dr. Siva is hoping to change that. She’s leading a new clinical trial designed specifically for women with cardiomyopathy or those at high risk of heart complications from cancer treatment.

She hopes that this new clinical trial is the start of finding effective answers for those women who cannot take the typical drug regimen.

The trial is slated to begin enrolling patients this month and is expected to last about eight years.
