medical education at Prisma health

0:12

Prisma health partners with the

0:13

University of South Carolina School of

0:15

Medicine in Columbia and Greenville to

0:18

offer more than 60 residencies and

0:20

fellowships with approximately 650

0:23

residents and fellows we view education

0:25

as integral to improving Community

0:27

Health and are committed to providing

0:29

the best training possible our clinical

0:32

campuses prepare today's clinicians for

0:34

tomorrow's Health Care from our

0:36

Simulation Center to advance research

0:39

and Innovation Center we are on a

0:41

journey to transform Health Care as

0:43

South Carolina's largest Health Care

0:45

System Prisma Health's unique

0:47

collaborative environment Fosters new

0:49

solutions for care delivery access and

0:52

affordability all with the goal of

0:54

helping people live healthier lives

0:58

I think what we as faculty bring to

1:01

Residents is a dedication to the craft

1:04

as a result I think we feel very

1:07

strongly about making sure that it is

1:11

not only a robust and full learning

1:13

experience for residents but also one

1:15

that is Humane and one that balances all

1:18

of the needs of our Learners both in

1:21

terms of academics but also in terms of

1:22

Lifestyle residents as teachers is

1:25

actually one of our really important

1:27

components of our curriculum so our

1:30

residents get to be involved in

1:31

improving their own teaching and then

1:33

practical experience teaching students

1:35

clinically and then also in the

1:36

classroom I think that the Prisma Health

1:38

Partnership with the school of medicine

1:40

has been a tremendous asset to my own

1:42

education having gone to medical school

1:45

here as well as attending residency here

1:47

the access to the sheer number of

1:50

Specialists that we have and I guess the

1:52

size of the Prisma Health Organization

1:53

just gives us a lot of variety in the

1:56

clinical things that we see each day our

1:58

residency program is quite outpatient

2:01

heavy and I feel like I get a really

2:02

good solid training in managing a wide

2:06

variety of outpatient issues many of the

2:08

patients that we see here are medically

2:10

complex and unfortunately have to

2:12

navigate through a weak social safety

2:14

net as a result as a resident and as a

2:17

physician we have to think out of the

2:19

box just to provide the best care it's

2:23

intentional and strategic in being

2:27

inclusive

2:28

promoting diversity promoting retention

2:31

and promoting learning but also having

2:34

fun while you're learning I think what

2:37

we've done is we've tried to recruit a

2:40

diverse group of residents to really

2:42

represent the diversity of our community

2:45

which is really rich and I think we all

2:47

learn from each other with that

2:49

diversity Equity inclusion are Central

2:51

to ethical patient care I think most of

2:55

my patients have had very different life

2:57

experiences for me and I think think

2:58

that it's really hard to come up with a

3:01

good plan of care for someone without

3:02

understanding their background and their

3:04

lifestyle and their values and so I try

3:08

to keep those things in mind with every

3:10

patient and every decision that I make

3:11

I'm actually one of the chair residents

3:14

on our diversity equity and inclusion

3:16

boards so I participate heavily in that

3:19

there are always a lot of lectures on

3:21

these topics you can attend Hands-On

3:24

training on topics such as cultural

3:27

sensitivities and personal biases and of

3:30

course all residency programs you have

3:32

the opportunity to join the leadership

3:34

board there we have a lot of

3:37

here that it brings light to their day

3:39

that they can see someone that looks

3:41

like them that they can relate to our

3:44

program has a residence actively

3:46

participate in the recruitment process

3:49

and interview process of medical

3:52

students that are applying to our

3:54

program and overall the goal is for us

3:57

to provide the best care to our patients

3:59

what better way to do that

4:01

um

4:02

than to add diversity culture of my

4:05

residency program if I had to come up

4:07

with one word to describe it as

4:08

supportive We Are Family Medicine but I

4:12

think of us as like a big family and it

4:14

sounds cheesy but it's it's so true in

4:16

this case um I feel like I can ask any

4:18

of my upper levels a question at any

4:20

time they're always available to provide

4:23

support just lend an ear

4:26

um or just hang out on the weekends we

4:28

see health and well-being as keys to

4:30

success our culture of Wellness sets us

4:33

apart from other training programs

4:35

Prisma health is a huge advocate for

4:37

wellness not only for residents but for

4:40

all Prisma Health employees being a

4:43

Prisma Health employee you have free

4:45

access to mindfulness and meditation

4:48

apps like headspace which I really enjoy

4:50

in addition to that we also have kind of

4:53

lecture series about kind of what

4:55

Wellness is how important it is

4:57

management of fatigue and kind of that

5:01

burnout area that everyone tends to talk

5:03

about during residency and tips tricks

5:06

to avoid that which is really important

5:08

The Faculty make a huge effort in

5:11

emphasizing the need to kind of be away

5:14

from work once you are outside the

5:16

hospital there's lots of things to do

5:18

within the system and the city and

5:20

things to engage in to stay well and I

5:23

think access to services and resources

5:26

and being able to provide those and the

5:28

time to engage with them for residents

5:31

is really important where you train is

5:33

important when choosing the right

5:35

program for you and training

5:37

opportunities abound in the Midlands of

5:39

South Carolina from the vibrant capital

5:42

city of Colombia to the small town charm

5:45

of Sumter Prisma Health has the right

5:47

fit for you Prisma Health Richland

5:49

hospital in Columbia is the Region's

5:51

Premier referral center and hub for our

5:54

many residency and fellowship programs

5:56

what is different about our program is

5:59

our culture of family and support that

6:01

each trainee will experience I think the

6:04

thing that makes the Prisma Health

6:05

faculty Stand Out above all else is just

6:08

the overall willingness and dedication

6:10

towards your growth and development and

6:14

just make you feel like you're supported

6:16

at all times which is really important

6:18

to have

6:19

Columbia is very affordable with the

6:22

cost of living well below the national

6:24

average a thriving downtown and

6:27

seemingly endless variety of outdoor and

6:29

cultural activities Colombia is also

6:32

home to the state's Flagship University

6:34

Columbia is a great place to live and

6:37

work

6:38

one of my favorite things is the

6:40

Riverwalk here and we have many many

6:42

miles of trails lining our Rivers I have

6:46

really loved the connection to the

6:48

outdoors that's here there's national

6:51

park that's just half an hour away

6:52

that's a lot of fun to kayak on or go

6:56

hiking in there are so many different

6:59

things to explore in the city itself

7:01

from soda City Farmers Market which is

7:03

just a wonderful Marketplace for food

7:06

and arts museums music so many things to

7:10

explore but in a very accessible way I

7:14

think there's a very noticeable

7:16

atmosphere of growth and liveliness

7:22

those wanting a rural training

7:24

experience need look no further than

7:26

Prisma Health to me hospital in Sumter

7:28

which is just a short drive from larger

7:30

cities like Columbia and Charleston

7:33

we're pretty close to the beach

7:35

we also are pretty close to big cities

7:38

Atlanta it's not too far away Charlotte

7:40

we do have a YMCA we have a CrossFit gym

7:43

we also have a public park called Swan

7:47

Lake where residents and students

7:48

sometimes go to relax and have walks

7:52

from primary to Specialty Care Columbia

7:55

to Greenville and Beyond Prisma Health

7:58

offers a program and setting to satisfy

8:00

most everyone our approximately three

8:03

dozen Fellowship programs range from

8:05

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

8:07

Cardiology and clinical informatics to

8:10

infectious disease Primary Care sports

8:12

8:18

between Sumter and Seneca wherever your

8:21

clinical interests lie Charisma health

8:23

will open new doors to one-of-a-kind

training and career opportunities it's

8:27

no surprise that more than a third of

8:29

our graduates stay in South Carolina to

8:31

practice with about two-thirds of those

8:34

staying on at Prisma Health retention of

8:36

graduates is a Hallmark of our program
