0:00 [Music]

0:17 i'm laura holden i'm the director of the

0:18 pgy1 pharmacy residency program on the

0:21 inpatient side

0:22 for prisma health i am also the director

0:26 of clinical pharmacy services for prisma

0:28

health midlands

0:30

one of the things about our prisma

0:31

health residency program

0:33

is that we have been around for almost

0:36

50 years

0:37

we have a great deal of support within

0:40

prisma health as well as within the

0:42

pharmacy department to

0:44

train our residents and to

0:47

make sure that we're training the next

0:48

generation and our colleagues

0:50

as we move along i'm nicole bookstaver

0:54

i'm the manager of our ambulatory

0:56

clinical pharmacy services here at

0:58

prisma health

0:58

and i'm also the rpd for our pgy1

1:00

program focused on ambulatory care

1:03

the few things that set our program

1:04

apart from others is

1:06

our preceptors we have a awesome group

1:09

of preceptors

1:10

that cross over both in our pgi1 and

1:13

pgy2 programs they really have a passion

1:15

for what they do

1:16

are interested in collaboration research

1:19

and really care about our residents and

1:21

supporting them and then there's a

1:22

variety of

1:23

elective opportunities to name a few hiv

1:26

hep c clinic

1:27

geriatrics drug information

1:30

more than you can do an entire year one

1:33

experience that we

1:35

highly highly encourage all of our pgi 1

1:37

residents to participate in is our

1:39

clinical teaching certificate program or

1:41

ctc

1:42

and it is run through the college of

1:44

pharmacy at usc

1:45

and it starts out with some core

1:48

didactic

1:48

information about clinical precepting as

1:51

well as

1:52

academia and depending on what a

1:54

resident's career interests

1:55

are they can pick either of those tracks

1:58

there's also opportunity to kind of

1:59

oscillate between them

2:01

it's an awesome program we've gotten

2:03

nothing but positive feedback from it

2:06

and it really sits in parallels very

2:08

nicely with the clinical learning

2:10

experiences that they're already

2:11

partaking in

2:13

my name is marina i'm the pgy1 pharmacy

2:15

resident in the ambulatory care focus

2:17

i did my schooling at the university of

2:19

kansas for pharmacy school

2:20

my name is abigail bocknight i'm a pgy1

2:23

in health systems administration and

2:25

pharmacy leadership

2:27

i did both my undergraduate and my

2:29

pharmd at the university of south

2:30

carolina college of pharmacy

2:32

when i came out here for my interview i

2:34

could tell that people really cared

2:35

about me as a person and my support my

2:37

growth

2:38

and also each other there was a lot of

2:40

interprofessional

2:41

people really supporting each other and

2:43

you could tell that there was a huge

2:45

aspect of growth i had several rotations

2:48

here as a student

2:49

that showed me the type of preceptorship

2:52

that i could expect as a resident

2:54

and then prisma health pharmacy

2:56

residency program has a

2:58

very lengthy list of learning

3:00

opportunities for residents

3:01

and almost as long as the list of

3:04

preceptors who

3:05

are board certified and trained in their

3:08

prospective specialties so i knew that i

3:10

would have

3:11

the opportunities to succeed here in

3:13

this program the first rotation was

3:15

definitely kind of a culture shock of

3:17

wow i'm really a pharmacist and i am

3:19

responsible for these people's lives and

3:21

their health and so

3:22

i've had a lot of support in that first

3:24

couple weeks but i have had a lot of

3:25

autonomy and

3:26

trust from my preceptors to where they

3:28

show me okay we know that you know

3:30

the material and we know you're

3:31

competent and so i've been able to kind

3:33

of

3:34

expand and grow while also having

3:37

someone there as a backup if i needed it

3:39

probably the majority of our residents

3:41

do go on to pursue a pgy2

3:44

we also have some residents who have

3:46

gone on to

3:47

a number of different clinical areas we

3:49

really feel that because we give you

3:50

such a variety in your learning

3:52

experiences that you are prepared to

3:54

jump right into a clinical

3:56

role straight out of your first year of

3:58

residency

3:59

we make sure that you do have a research

4:01

project that is vetted by our research

4:03

team that can be completed in a year

4:05

but also is going to be able to be

4:07

something that you can potentially

4:09

publish

4:09

at the end of your residency and then we

4:12

want to make sure that you have a good

4:13

work-life balance and you have a lot of

4:15

support

4:15

i think there's a lot of opportunities

4:17

as far as quality of life and colombia

4:20

is

4:20

not too big but it's also not too small

4:22

i do love the

4:23

central location in the state where you

4:25

can go two hours to charleston and be on

4:27

the beach one weekend and then the next

4:29

weekend you can go up to the mountains

4:30

just another two hours away and so it's

4:32

a perfect location for that

4:34

we all kind of are there for each other

4:35

we have the same office we all sit

4:37

within

4:38

a few feet of each other and so if

4:39

someone's having a bad day or a great

4:41

day and wants to share that experience

4:43

there's always ears to listen

4:45

the support that they have is something

4:47

that

4:48

i don't think that you're going to find

4:49

anywhere else it really is special

4:51

and we make sure that we support our

4:53

residents in

4:55

everything that they want to do

4:56

throughout their residency program

5:11
