[Music]
0:17
so the key elements for our training
0:19
program are really to make the best
0:21
well-rounded infectious disease doctor
0:23
that we can we want people that are well
0:25
vered in common things as well as some
0:27
of the the rare presentations of disease
0:30
to really make a a well-rounded
0:32
physician someone who's comfortable with
0:34
all different types of pathology all the
0:36
different facets of infectious disease
0:38
everything from infection prevention to
0:41
stewardship to wound care and then the
0:44
Ines of all the different infections
0:46
that we manage infectious disease is a a
0:50
dynamic uh field of medicine it's always
0:53
changing um there's constantly emerging
0:57
and reemerging diseases uh the threaten
1:00
development of uh antimicrobial
1:03
resistance we really need a Workforce
1:05
that's going to uh be able to to meet
1:08
these challenges I think the biggest
1:09
pillar of our program is uh education
1:12
and and clinical care um we want to
1:16
ensure that our fellows are experts in
1:18
the practice of infectious disease
1:20
medicine the primary goal of the program
1:23
is to provide great comprehensive
1:25
education for the fellows uh having been
1:28
the first fellow to uh enroll and
1:31
actually go through and graduate from
1:32
the the program I could safely say that
1:34
I'd feel comfortable being uh picked up
1:36
from here in Greenville South Carolina
1:38
and being plugged in anywhere across the
1:39
country and I think i' i' do very well
1:42
uh internationally as well so in the two
1:44
years here they get to see a little bit
1:47
of of everything you never really know
1:50
um you know what your day may look like
1:52
and and and what what type of of
1:54
interesting patients or or um clinical
1:58
challenges that you may face dilemas
2:00
that you may face we see patients in the
2:03
hospital setting so people who are
2:04
acutely ill all the way from intensive
2:07
care units with Surgical and Medical to
2:11
regular floor patients and then
2:12
outpatients as well we have HIV clinics
2:16
we have other specialty clinics wound
2:18
care Hepatitis C so they get a little
2:20
bit of all of that both the Acuity and
2:22
some continuity getting to build those
2:24
relationships with patients see them
2:25
over
2:27
time they're going to experience a very
2:29
wide breath of of infectious disease
2:32
practice we want to give them exposure
2:35
really across the spectrum of what
2:36
infectious disease Physicians do so that
2:39
includes uh a large amount of time uh
2:42
doing infectious disease consultation uh
2:45
in the hospital and acute care setting
2:47
also um seeing referrals to our
2:50
outpatient infectious disease general
2:53
office um and following patients with
2:55
chronic infections in that setting the
2:58
great thing about our department is we
3:00
are a bigger department for a community
3:02
hospital but um maybe on the smaller end
3:05
for an academic side so we get the
3:08
opportunity to really work closely with
3:09
our fellows and our fellows get to spend
3:11
time with us we've got a a nice family
3:14
atmosphere I think our our fellows are
3:16
very happy here they feel very supported
3:18
in that we put fellows as a top priority
3:22
so our didactic lectures our teaching
3:24
cases our micro rounds all the
3:26
opportunities for research are
3:29
especially Focus focused on the benefit
3:30
of the fellow we we want them to thrive
3:33
we want them to be
3:35
successful we want them to pursue their
3:37
passion and you know be the doctor that
3:39
they want to be and to that end I'm most
3:41
proud of that because I do believe our
3:43
faculty members have put in a lot of
3:45
effort and thought into U making sure
3:47
that that's the case we we really want
3:50
to be able to mold our the fellowship
3:53
experience around uh what someone is
3:56
interested in what someone's passionate
3:58
about so that ultimately the goal is to
4:00
to be able to um prepare someone for the
4:03
career that they want and also be in a
4:06
position where they are um enjoying what
4:08
they're doing uh dayto day and I think
4:11
that really sets us apart that we have
4:13
that support for fellows and that the
4:14
fellows can come to any of us at any
4:16
time and feel that they're getting the
4:19
the backup that they need we love what
4:21
we do uh we we think it's a fantastic
4:23
way to spend a a career in in in
4:26
medicine and so um we really want to
4:28
invest in people who share that passion
4:30
uh and are going to be on you know on
4:33
the Forefront of meeting these
4:34
challenges uh in their communities and
4:37
across the world from the Welcome party
4:39
to the uh the graduation events at the
4:41
end of the two years uh it's a great
4:44
experience uh to be a part of this group
