One of the best things about joining the team at MUSC, aside from enjoying an exciting career in a dynamic institution, is living in Charleston, a city known for its heritage and culture. Charleston's temperate climate affords multiple opportunities for year-round outdoor activities including water sports such as sailing or fishing. Golf enthusiasts rank one Charleston resort among the top ten golf resorts in the United States.
