00:17

my name is scott annette i'm the

00:18

program director for the personal health

00:20

university of south carolina greenville

00:21

primary care sports medicine fellowship

00:23

so i think about things that kind of

00:24

make this program here in greenville a

00:26

little bit special one would certainly

00:27

be the faculty every year when we do our

00:29

program annual review

00:31

the primary care sports faculty are

00:32

mentioned as is probably our best asset

00:34

here

00:35

we're embedded within the steppen

00:36

hawkins clinic of the carolinas which is

00:38

a fantastic

00:39

world-renowned orthopedic practice and

00:41

all the surgeons are easily accessible

00:43

they are fantastic teachers and they

00:45

just love what they do

00:46

so it's just a really diverse group of

00:48

people with similar academic interests

00:49

that get together and can really feed

00:51

off of each other in a nice learning

00:56

environment name is josh pacious i

00:59

joined the fellowship here a year ago i

01:01

was looking for a program that

01:03

had a wide base and a lot of support and

01:06

i think that

01:07

is what i found here and perhaps more so

01:10

than some of the other programs that i

01:11

was looking at

01:12

also located in an awesome city

01:15

greenville

01:15

and the location the culture between

01:18

that and

01:18

the new variety of stem and hawkins and

01:21

kind of what they've done over the last

01:22

decade

01:23

are all factors that kind of went into

01:25

my decision making to come here

01:29

my name is christina gouda i am one of

01:31

the sports fellows here

01:33

at the stephen hawkins clinic of the

01:34

carolinas through prisma health

01:36

i knew a lot about this fellowship just

01:38

from being around the area and

01:39

interviewed multiple different places

01:41

this is a very high volume

01:43

type practice high volume clinic and

01:45

that was one thing that was really

01:46

important to me and just the ability to

01:48

do a lot of different sports

01:50

experiences whether that's at the high

01:52

school level mass events

01:54

college coverage just the wide breadth

01:56

of that

01:57

we're able to do a lot of kind of unique

01:59

pathways and different international

02:00

experiences so

02:02

some of that is done through usa karate

02:03

so we're the team physicians for them

02:05

and so the fellows are

02:06

are able to go all around the world when

02:08

you come here to greenville you'll go to

02:10

one national event for me that was in

02:13

chicago and then you go to one

02:14

international event and i went to

02:16

ecuador

02:17

which is really unique having that

02:20

opportunity to go abroad for a week week

02:22

and a half was

02:23

awesome so getting to work with you know

02:25

athletes and

02:26

also getting to explore like a whole new

02:29

city south america that i haven't

02:30

been to before was a lot of fun every

02:33

fellow has passed their caq which is

02:35

always kind of a benchmark

02:37

we've had 100 pass rate on our boards

02:39

for the entire time that we've had the

02:41

fellowship so hopefully we keep that up

02:43

here

02:43

this year that is really a flexible

02:46

curriculum

02:46

if we need to adjust schedules if

02:48

they're busy in the training room maybe

02:50

i'll give them an extra day off

02:51

we've never really had any issues with

02:52

people being you know burned out or

02:54

overwhelmed

02:55

and i think part of the reason for that

02:57

is i'm doing something i really enjoy

02:59

and it's a brief year in the sense that

03:01

it flies by

03:03

from day one you are connected with a

03:05

mentor

03:06

that is an attending within our program

03:09

and they're here for you

03:11

what they've offered me over the last

03:13

year i can

03:14

definitely say that i've become a better

03:16

doctor and also clinician kind of moving

03:19

forward

03:19

the collegiality has especially been

03:21

helpful when you're looking at jobs

03:23

after fellowship because we have a wide

03:26

net that can be spread from just our

03:27

primary care sports medicine

03:29

attendings and the connections that they

03:30

have and so that was really helpful from

03:32

a networking perspective

03:35

i accepted a job opportunity with the

03:37

center for family medicine which is the

03:39

family medicine residency here i'll be

03:42

coming on as junior faculty

03:44

i'm going into urgent care and sports

03:46

medicine after this so

03:48

i really want to tailor my second half

03:49

of the year to more fracture management

03:52

more acute management just

03:55

the the wide variety of attendings that

03:57

we have the wide variety of sports

03:59

experiences that we have really

04:00

sets us apart from other programs

04:18

you
