00:15
i did my residency
00:17
and fellowship here at richland and
00:20
because of the
00:22
environment and the
00:25
supportive faculty decided to stay on as
00:29
a program director
00:30
some of the key experiences that our
00:32
fellows
00:33
will have the opportunity to have
00:35
include
00:36
not only a nice mixture between
00:38
outpatient and inpatient settings
00:41
but as well as two different biopsy
00:43
clinics both here at richland and the va
00:46
we also have a nice mixture
00:50
of technology i'm most proud of the fact
00:53
that
00:53
our program boasts faculty from all
00:55
around the world
00:56
with very diverse backgrounds each of
00:59
them
01:00
make teaching a top priority
01:03
and they mentor and nurture our fellows
01:07
and help them figure out what path they
01:10
should take whether it be
01:12
to go into academia private practice
01:15
research there is always an open door
01:18
policy
01:19
i believe that not only myself but
01:23
my fellow colleagues put teaching and
01:26
the well-being
01:27
of our fellows as a top priority
01:31
we try not to overwhelm our patie
01:34
our fellows but at the same time giving
01:36
them a wide variety of experiences
01:39
and so our mornings consist of
01:43
outpatient clinics where
01:46
our fellows have the autonomy to see
01:48
their patients
01:49
and in the afternoon we do see consults
01:51
but we make sure
01:53
that they have time for themselves for
01:57
for studying if there are any concerns
02:01
or questions
02:02
we try to have an a very
02:06
open door amicable policy where our
02:10
fellows can approach any of the faculty
02:12
and let them know that they are under
02:14
stress
02:15
or they're having issues and we do our
02:17
very best to accommodate them
02:19
colombia i think boasts a city
02:22
where you have the best of both worlds
02:25
you not only have
02:26
a mixture of small hometown phil
02:29
where everyone knows your name and
02:32
you're
02:32
greeted with a smile whenever you come
02:34
into work
02:36
but all the amenities that a larger city
02:39
might have i have called columbia home
02:43
for many years it is a
02:46
family oriented place that is
02:50
safe and has
02:53
a variety of entertainment
02:56
and nestled into the city is a program
03:00
that seeks to also nurture
03:04
our fellows the factors that led me to
03:07
choosing
03:08
this program were that when i
03:11
came here to interview i really liked
03:13
the work environment
03:15
over here everybody here is very
03:17
friendly all the faculty staff
03:19
everybody is very friendly supportive
03:22
easily approachable
03:23
and there's a good mix of pathology that
03:26
we get to
03:27
see over here and also a good mix of
03:31
teaching
03:32
research opportunities and the faculty
03:36
is really dedicated towards helping the
03:38
fellows
03:40
achieve their goals whatever they may be
03:42
the best part of
03:44
my fellowship experience has been
03:46
getting
03:48
to know everybody here in this program
03:50
the
03:51
one of the strengths of this program in
03:53
my opinion is the people
03:55
of the program including the faculty and
03:57
the staff
03:58
and everybody is very supportive very
04:00
friendly
04:01
and easily approachable and committed to
04:05
creating a conducive environment for the
04:07
learning of the fellows
04:08
one of the other strengths of this
04:10
program would be
04:11
the fact that we do also rotate in
04:14
pediatric endocrinology
04:15
and reproductive endocrinology which
04:18
also does
04:19
add to the already diverse experience
04:21
that we get here
04:22
so as fellows we do get a lot of
04:25
opportunity to
04:26
teach residents and medical students we
04:28
have
04:29
residents and medical students rotate
04:32
with us
04:33
and as fellows we are directly
04:36
involved in their teaching and mentoring
04:39
which also helps you flourish as not
04:42
only as a clinician but also
04:44
as a teacher i've been inspired
04:48
a lot by a lot of the my mentors
04:51
that i've worked with over here in terms
04:54
of
04:55
their approach towards patients and
04:57
their compassion because
04:58
as endocrinologists we do deal with
05:01
sometimes very
05:02
complex patient population
05:05
with a lot of chronic medical problems
05:08
which involve
05:09
a lot of ups and downs in the management
05:11
and requires a lot of
05:13
compassion and patience and that is
05:16
something that
05:17
i learned a lot from my mentors and
05:20
other faculty members
05:21
and something that has inspired me a lot
05:24
and something that i would
05:25
definitely want to continue in my
05:27
practice as well
05:42
you
