I tell General Surgery candidates considering South Carolina that the in-state base typically lands inside the national range above, with rural and HPSA-designated counties producing offers at or above the upper end once signing bonuses, loan repayment, and rural premiums are stacked. The single biggest variance lever for any General Surgery offer in South Carolina is whether the role sits in one of the major South Carolina metros above or in a shortage-area county.
