my name is john kohl i'm the
00:16
program director for the prisma health
00:19
upstate
00:20
surgery critical care fellowship kind of
00:23
the basis of the
00:24
fellowship was we had tons of clinical
00:27
opportunities for experience and we were
00:30
really ramping up our academic
00:32
productivity
00:33
with all this you know research
00:35
experience and clinical experience we
00:37
thought that that would be
00:38
something that was helpful for uh for a
00:40
new fellow
00:41
through the experience or just you know
00:43
they're just absolutely some
00:44
experience that we just have to you know
00:46
we have to give the fellow after that
00:47
basis we actually also have
00:49
other opportunities we have several
00:52
elective
00:52
rotations that the fellow can decide to
00:54
choose to take
00:56
we have working with cardiology we have
00:59
an advanced airway course
01:00
pediatrics if there's a specific
01:03
topic that they're particularly
01:05
interested in we can adjust their
01:07
curriculum to help you know manage those
01:09
needs and so that
01:10
that allows us a lot of freedom to
01:14
place the fellow in situations that is
01:16
for
01:17
you know the best benefit for them you
01:19
know to
01:20
to learn so we can give a robust
01:25
clinical experience that allows them to
01:27
see very sick patients but not overwhelm
01:30
them with
01:31
you know just overwhelming clinical duty
01:34
it gives them the opportunity to get
01:36
involved in research get involved in
01:38
quality initiate
01:39
quality of projects what makes me most
01:41
proud about the the program
01:42
is that it's really its focus on
01:44
education we kind of look at our
01:46
critical care fellow as a junior
01:48
attending we
01:50
kind of expect the fellow to
01:53
take those responsibilities as a junior
01:56
faculty member such as
01:58
you know training you know teaching
01:59
residents and teaching medical students
02:01
to make them the best you know the best
02:04
not only
02:05
a good clinician but give them the tools
02:08
to go into academics
02:09
my name is catherine pelisseri and i am
02:12
the surgical critical care fellow
02:13
graduating this year
02:14
this surgical critical care fellowship
02:16
here in greenville has been a wonderful
02:18
experience
02:19
i feel that i've been able to make the
02:21
program my own to fit my needs and my
02:23
interest
02:23
and there are plenty of opportunities
02:25
within multiple fields in the area of
02:27
surgery
02:28
for me to really develop i think the
02:30
best part of the fellowship experience
02:32
has been to
02:33
to really grow as a surgeon and
02:36
to learn some different areas within
02:38
medicine that can make you a better
02:40
surgeon
02:41
as well as finding some wonderful
02:42
mentors to really get me to that next
02:44
level
02:45
i have found that i've had a lot of
02:46
autonomy within the program
02:48
in my case i had known our faculty for
02:50
multiple years so we had been used to
02:52
working with each other
02:53
but really as the year goes on as your
02:55
training evolves
02:57
your autonomy level is going to be
02:58
increased of course for my research
03:00
projects i work with the trauma team
03:02
as well as a large multi-center trial
03:04
that i've just been approved for through
03:06
east
03:07
there are many opportunities for
03:08
research with clemson and some
03:10
affiliated institutions as well as the
03:11
medical school
03:13
from greenville i particularly love the
03:15
downtown area there's a lot of
03:17
places to go eat which is one of my
03:18
favorite things to do and there's plenty
03:21
of places to go see and explore as well
03:33
