my name is jenna cox i'm one of the

0:18

critical care pharmacists here at prisma

0:19

health midlands and the pgy2 program

0:22

director for critical care

0:23

here at prison health midlands we offer

0:26

unique experiences for

0:27

residents who come through our programs

0:29

our preceptors truly

0:30

care about each and every one of our

0:32

residents and really finding out what

0:34

their goals are for their future

0:36

we try to do our best to set them up for

0:37

success whatever the career path is that

0:40

they may choose

0:41

we have many different preceptors with

0:43

different backgrounds who

0:45

offer wide resources to be able to help

0:47

them meet those goals

0:50

my name is gabrielle dabrill i am the

0:52

pgy2 cardiology resident here

0:55

my name is kayla antis i am the pgy2

0:57

infectious diseases pharmacy resident

1:00

on my interview here i also felt the

1:02

most comforted and welcomed

1:04

i feel like the relationships that i

1:06

felt with those preceptors on that day

1:08

really

1:09

made me want to stay here and continue

1:11

my training here not only

1:12

do you need great rotations and great

1:14

experiences but it's also really the

1:16

environment

1:16

and the preceptors and your co-residents

1:18

that really makes your experience great

1:21

i was really impressed by the vast

1:23

amount of rotations that we have in the

1:25

heart hospital

1:26

able to really work through this

1:28

separate heart hospital and focus in on

1:30

like the advanced therapies that we have

1:32

here

1:33

everything ranging from lvads all that

1:35

outpatient clinic

1:36

to ecmo hella devices balloon pumps

1:40

so we really offer those advanced

1:41

therapies and i think that's why i was

1:43

really interested in pursuing a pgy2

1:46

here

1:46

i'm andrew gainey i'm the current

1:48

residency director

1:50

for the pgy2 program in pediatrics at

1:52

prisma health children's hospital

1:54

there's a lot of things to think the

1:56

pediatrics pgyt program

1:58

kind of makes it very unique mainly

2:00

because we offer

2:01

the opportunity to tailor your year with

2:03

a focus so depending on where you're

2:05

coming from from your pgy1

2:07

you're actually focusing and

2:08

specializing in a clinical subspecialty

2:12

we do offer a variety of rotations

2:15

and numerous amounts of different

2:17

subspecialty areas

2:19

the pharmacy department as a whole

2:21

offers many opportunities for

2:23

wellness so whether that be the

2:24

rejuvenation room that was recently

2:26

added in the pharmacy department

2:28

or bringing in different speakers to

2:30

speak with us in our monthly department

2:31

meetings to really try to focus on

2:33

having that work life balance something

2:35

that we as preceptors try to model for

2:37

the residents as well

2:39

i think my independence has grown a lot

2:41

when you hit pgy2 you kind of hit the

2:43

ground running

2:44

and that's really a good thing because

2:46

you need to be prepared to

2:48

be a pharmacist independently fully

2:50

independent after this year so i think

2:52

my independence has really improved and

2:54

not as reliant as

2:56

i used to be on my preceptors i would

2:58

say our preceptors do a really great job

3:00

of

3:00

knowing you know when we might need a

3:02

little more help versus whenever

3:04

you know whenever they need to let us

3:05

just kind of be on our own

3:07

um and i think the level of autonomy is

3:10

great here

3:11

there's a lot of fun things to do in

3:12

columbia so with our co-residents we go

3:14

out to eat a lot of the time

3:16

i like that kind of small city vibe you

3:18

get a lot of different restaurants to

3:20

choose from and a lot of like events

3:21

always happening

3:23

when choosing a program i really

3:25

recommend that the resident would

3:26

think about what their career goals were

3:28

what experiences there are that they

3:30

would gain

3:31

within a certain program whether that be

3:33

a specific patient population

3:36

that they would see here versus other

3:38

programs that they're interested in

3:40

in addition to that i think would be

3:41

program fit so as they're

3:43

able to speak to some of our current

3:45

residents and our preceptors

3:47

really to find somewhere that they feel

3:48

comfortable

3:50

one of the most important things that

3:52

i'll remember throughout my time here is

3:54

the relationships i have with people

3:56

my co-residents but also the physicians

3:59

that i've been able to work with

4:00

residents and fellows the

4:02

interdisciplinary team because i do feel

4:04

like

4:05

going on rounds they really appreciate

4:06

pharmacy input and they appreciate what

4:08

we have to say so i feel like we're

4:10

like a very important member of the team

4:13

healthcare is a dynamic field we have to

4:15

be able to work as a team

4:18

overall for both the residents and the

4:19

preceptors you'll find a good

4:21

camaraderie there within the team

4:22

for help
