00:21
there are
00:22
you know several things that i feel like
00:24
make our program a good choice an
00:26
exceptional choice for
00:27
child psychiatry besides just choosing
00:30
child psychiatry as a field which is an
00:32
amazing choice in itself
00:33
a lot of programs tend to focus on like
00:35
psychopharmacology but we actually
00:37
really do
00:38
focus on psychotherapy and
00:39
psychopharmacology and
00:41
working with patients in both directions
00:44
to help them
00:45
you know achieve a good result our
00:47
residents have enough patience and a big
00:49
enough caseload to
00:50
to learn and to grow as a doctor and to
00:52
feel comfortable working with patients
00:53
but at the same time
00:55
we keep it at a level where they can
00:57
still
00:58
you know read about the patients learn
00:59
about the patients explore different
01:01
things that they need to explore to help
01:02
that patient and so
01:03
we have a really good balance of um
01:06
allowing them to learn while getting
01:07
them to work
01:08
we have a really strong concern for
01:10
their well-being in all areas
01:11
i think my level of autonomy progressed
01:13
a lot quicker than i thought it was
01:14
going to
01:15
and i think the the attendings do a
01:16
great job of
01:19
treating us where we should be and
01:20
letting us kind of have as much autonomy
01:22
as we want to take on
01:24
to a certain extent a unique thing that
01:26
we have in this program
01:28
is the ability to do some moonlighting
01:30
and i think that also
01:31
added to my autonomy as a pjy5 i've been
01:34
moonlighting since pgy2
01:37
and i really feel like that's going to
01:39
help me in the long run because
01:42
i've been doing some decision making you
01:44
know you know what i'm
01:45
having these moonlighting shifts that
01:48
you know maybe i wouldn't necessarily
01:49
come up in my day to day of my training
01:51
especially if there's an attending right
01:52
there
01:52
to maybe help me with that answer and so
01:54
this kind of pushes
01:56
a little more responsibility on you of
01:57
you're the one in charge you're the one
01:59
making the decision you can't just
02:01
look you're attending for the easy way
02:02
out maybe that's allowed me to kind of
02:04
gain confidence in myself as a provider
02:07
one of our affiliate sites is the south
02:08
carolina department of juvenile justice
02:10
we're with dr getz our assistant
02:12
director over there
02:13
and we get a lot of experience doing
02:15
court evaluations
02:17
for different youth and minors that
02:20
really come from all different parts of
02:21
the state we travel around to
02:24
a variety of the different elementary
02:25
schools in that district
02:28
and seeing the different grade levels
02:30
some of the different
02:31
work that they do as far as iep
02:33
individualized education plans and 504s
02:35
they also do work in the children's
02:37
cancer center
02:38
and work at the metropolitan
02:42
children's advocacy center which works
02:43
with children who've had potential abuse
02:45
in their history so and have the
02:48
experience in our outpatient clinic
02:49
where they're doing outpatient
02:50
evaluations med management
02:52
um psychotherapy so um i think that
02:56
when you come here you're going to get
02:57
the opportunity to work in a lot of
02:58
different places and you're going to
02:59
really understand and know
03:01
where you kind of fit in and what you
03:02
would want to do in the future child
03:04
psychiatry is
03:05
a key to being a better psychiatrist
03:16
overall
03:22
you
