an athlete training residency program is
0:16
a planned
0:17
identical experience that's typically 52
0:20
weeks long
0:21
within that 52 weeks residents rotate in
0:23
different areas
0:24
and in our areas we have four different
0:26
ones it's
0:27
hip shoulder and elbow knee
0:30
and the fourth one is an elective the
0:32
development program started in 2010.
0:35
in 2016 we were very fortunate to be one
0:38
of the first five programs in the
0:39
country to receive accreditation from
0:41
the commission
0:42
on accreditation of athletic training
0:44
education being kd accredited means that
0:47
we have standards that we have to follow
0:48
that are nationally driven and allows us
0:50
to create our curriculum
0:52
the way we want it but gives us a
0:54
foundation that we can build on so
0:56
therefore our residents
0:57
leave with a better understanding of
0:59
orthopedics
1:00
and evaluation of musculoskeletal
1:02
injuries
1:03
our residency program also includes the
1:06
opportunity to be in clinic
1:08
and in surgery and those are about 50 50
1:11
among their time
1:12
and that's kind of unique to our program
1:13
that within the surgical setting
1:15
our residents are hands-on they're not
1:18
behind the sterile field
1:19
they're there getting opportunities to
1:22
learn and
1:22
improve that patient's outcomes i chose
1:26
the athletic training residency program
1:28
at prisma health because i
1:30
first became aware of it during my time
1:32
when i was working down here as an
1:33
intern
1:34
at newberry college after my master's
1:36
degree
1:37
i kind of knew that i wanted to make the
1:38
switch into clinical and surgical
1:41
athletic training i specifically looked
1:44
at the program here
1:45
because it's kd certified and it just
1:48
shows you that you're going to hit a
1:50
certain level of
1:51
education and have a certain standard
1:53
that you have to uphold and you'll have
1:55
certain milestones that you reach during
1:57
your residency year
1:58
i also was drawn to this program because
2:00
we work so closely
2:02
with our orthopedic residency program so
2:05
being able to have the opportunity to
2:06
learn from the ortho residents and use
2:09
them as a resource
2:11
what drew me to prisma health
2:12
orthopedics ether training residency
2:14
program
2:15
was the family dynamic that we got
2:17
during our interview process the way
2:19
people mesh
2:19
just so well here together also all the
2:22
elective
2:23
courses that you get to choose at the
2:24
end of your rotation so you choose the
2:26
elective rotation after you finish your
2:29
three core ones which was something that
2:30
wasn't offered at a lot of other
2:32
programs that i looked into
2:35
what makes our program stand out from
2:36
others is the people
2:38
we have tremendous leadership from our
2:39
physicians and our athletic trainer
2:41
preceptors
2:42
have over 30 years of experience we also
2:45
have a great place to live columbia has
2:48
rivers
2:48
and minor league baseball great food
2:51
great entertainment
2:52
we're an hour and a half from the beach
2:54
a few hours from the mountains so we
2:56
have everything that you'd ever want
2:58
there's really limitless educational
3:00
opportunities
3:01
and they just really push you to be the
3:02
best that you can be and they really
3:04
want you to succeed and you feel that
3:06
my goal is to be an athletic trainer for
3:09
an orthopedic physician specifically
3:12
sports medicine
3:13
so this residency program is the perfect
3:16
lead way into that
3:17
it's given me strong exposure in the
3:20
aspects
3:21
of athletic training and sports medicine
3:23
that i hope to continue to work in
3:24
this residency program is definitely
3:26
preparing me for the next steps in my
3:28
career
3:28
by teaching me how to be independent
3:31
making medical decisions based off of
3:33
evidence-based
3:34
medicine it's taught me how to develop
3:36
relationships with patients in clinic
3:38
and follow them all the way through the
3:39
or
3:39
it's taught me how to just be more
3:41
thorough in musculoskeletal evaluations
3:44
definitely preparing me for my next
3:46
steps whether that be in clinic or in
3:47
the or
