my name is jay crockett i am the program
00:17
director for the
00:18
colonial rectal surgery program here at
00:19
the university of south carolina school
00:21
of medicine at greenville
00:22
what sets our program apart from the
00:24
competition
00:26
number one is the faculty i believe they
00:29
are committed to teaching very available
00:32
and really put their heart and soul into
00:34
the program
00:36
the fellow's key experience is really
00:37
related to surgical cases
00:40
we have a tremendous case volume both
00:43
endoscopically you know rectal
00:46
surgically
00:47
and laparoscopic open and robotically
00:50
i'm most proud of the fact that we got
00:52
this
00:52
program started from scratch we are a
00:55
relatively new program going into our
00:57
third year
00:58
we are a clinically driven program
01:02
focused on patient care and surgical
01:05
technique
01:05
training surgeons to be safe
01:09
and technically sound surgeons in the
01:11
community
01:12
we have had fellows go to
01:15
private practices as well as teaching
01:18
positions
01:19
in university programs throughout the
01:22
country
01:23
work-life balance for colorectal surgery
01:24
residency is not very difficult
01:27
we strongly encourage them to get out
01:29
and enjoy greenville
01:30
explore the local area immerse
01:33
themselves in the local culture
01:36
as well there's a pretty strong bond
01:38
between
01:40
the fellow and the general surgery
01:41
residents our residency program here is
01:44
very strong
01:45
the residents are very tight-knit and
01:47
all the fellows are just
01:48
brought into that family
01:51
hi i'm john kidwell i'm the cullen and
01:54
rectal fellow
01:55
for prisma health upstate for
01:58
the year 2020. the best part of my
02:01
experience so far has been the
02:03
well-roundedness of the program
02:05
there's always scopes to do
02:08
robots to do laparoscopic or open
02:12
surgeries to do
02:13
so you have a great
02:17
volume to pick from you're never limited
02:20
in opportunities to learn
02:21
and i feel at the end of this training
02:24
program
02:25
you will feel comfortable
02:29
as an independent colon and rectal
02:30
surgeon in my time here what has
02:33
surprised me was the
02:35
volume of and quality of
02:38
robotic training that you get here the
02:41
quality of life in greenville is
02:42
wonderful
02:43
so it's a beautiful place
02:46
it's kind of a hidden gem in south
02:49
carolina
02:51
a lot of outdoor activities to partake
02:53
in year round
02:55
the collegiality among the attendings
02:59
is wonderful that it's obvious that they
03:02
are all friends they know each other
03:04
well they've known each other for a
03:05
while there is a lot of
03:08
hanging out and getting to know these
03:10
individuals
03:13
which has been a very fun aspect of my
03:15
training this year
03:17
this was the place where
03:20
i learned to become
03:24
a competent colorectal surgeon
