There has been an explosion of educational and training opportunities in medicine in the Pee Dee area in recent years. This growth promises to make Florence a major player in medical education in South Carolina. A majority of this growth has been under the umbrella of Frances Marion University and the dynamic leadership of the President of FMU Dr. Fred Carter.
On Wednesday, February 19 Dr. Carter will discuss the changes in medical education in the Pee Dee, the role of FMU, the present programs and facilities and future plans.

He has received many awards and honors and since becoming President of FMU he once served as “Part Time Governor” when Governor Mark Sanford was serving on Active duty in the military!
