About
When working with patients, Dr. Rice focuses on the inherent dignity of each individual. Her patient care philosophy is to treat each patient as if they were her family – with compassion and respect – creating the optimal environment to improve her patient’s quality of life as they determine the best treatment plan together. She believes in working collaboratively with the patient and with other professionals as part of a multi-disciplinary transplant team.
Dr. Rice completed undergraduate studies at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and then her medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. She attended general surgery residency at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, including a two-year research fellowship where she received T32 funding and several national awards for her research in immunology.
Dr. Rice completed fellowships in Abdominal Organ Transplantation and Hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) surgery at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. This program provides a robust transplant and HPB experience focusing on preoperative, operative, and postoperative care in pediatric and adult patients.

Upon completion of fellowship, Dr. Rice joined MUSC as an assistant professor of surgery in the Transplant Surgery Division. Her research interests include improving access to surgery and transplant outcomes for under-represented populations.
