i'm chris carson
00:16
i'm the program director for the
00:18
vascular surgery fellowship here at
00:20
prisma health upstate
00:22
we like to say in greenville that we
00:23
have a very blue-collar vascular surgery
00:25
fellowship in that we see the routine
00:27
things
00:28
that patients present with in any
00:31
practice in the united states
00:33
we see a lot of everyday pathologies
00:36
such as
00:37
end-stage renal disease diabetes
00:41
we also see complex pathology infected
00:44
aortas
00:44
complex aortic aneurysms
00:48
difficult lower extremity
00:49
revascularizations so
00:51
one of the things that i'm really proud
00:52
of in our fellowship is that we provide
00:55
the day in and day out training that
00:57
that fellows will be able to leave here
00:59
with
00:59
and be comfortable practicing in any
01:02
setting
01:02
the fellows will get concentrated time
01:05
on an endovascular service
01:07
on an open service and on an
01:09
office-based service
01:11
that allows them to get repetition in
01:13
the skills that they're trying to
01:14
acquire whether that's
01:16
wire catheter skills open operative
01:20
repetition or even in the office where
01:22
they're learning to read vascular labs
01:23
or learning vein pathology and how to
01:25
perform
01:26
vein procedures in the office prisma
01:28
health is a fantastic place to work
01:31
we have very approachable attendings we
01:33
have fellows that enjoy themselves while
01:35
they're here that learn an awful lot
01:38
and i think there are very few programs
01:40
in the united states that give you the
01:42
breadth
01:42
of experience that we do feel very proud
01:45
of the fellowship that we have here
01:47
and have been very fortunate to
01:48
participate in the education of all the
01:50
fellows and the general surgery
01:51
residents
01:52
over the last 19 years
01:58
my name is uh joseph tengen i'm with the
02:00
vascular surgery fellowship program here
02:02
i'm a first year
02:03
vascular surgery fellow as soon as i
02:05
started day one on the endovascular
02:07
rotation i'm already very hands-on with
02:10
with all of the procedures doing a
02:13
portion of them
02:14
solo doing a portion of them with some
02:16
supervision and then doing the more
02:17
complex procedures
02:19
with direct help with the attendees but
02:22
once you build that level of trust in
02:23
the first few cases
02:25
they really let you let you get heavily
02:27
involved and do a lot of the cases
02:29
yourself which has been great
02:30
the operative experience for the
02:31
fellowship is amazing
02:33
working with the attendees they really
02:35
treat you like
02:36
a junior attending or a junior partner
02:38
so the collegiality is
02:40
is wonderful the experience with them
02:42
have been great
02:43
operatively and just in our educational
02:45
conferences that we have
02:47
very regularly we have a high volume of
02:49
cases a high volume of
02:51
complexity there's really no shortage of
02:54
procedures or
02:55
or patient care to go around and the
02:57
fellows main goal
02:58
is operative planning and experience
03:02
and so we're very involved in the the
03:04
planning of operative
03:08
procedures and as well as the carrying
03:11
those out
03:12
and so not as much time is spent on
03:15
paperwork social work and things like
03:16
that
03:16
is that happens in residency it's a very
03:19
heavy
03:20
operative surgical planning type of type
03:22
experience for fellowship
03:24
i'm jack neal i'm a second year vascular
03:26
surgery fellow
03:27
and when you start out you're you
03:30
you have less autonomy and as you become
03:32
more comfortable with the operations
03:34
the autonomy has has progressed
03:36
appropriately and i've been very happy
03:37
with the autonomy that i've been given
03:39
here
03:40
the number of cases that we are able to
03:43
do has been
03:44
has been the best part so far of uh
03:47
of the fellowship program i think i will
03:49
remember most about my time
03:50
the the amazing complex operations that
03:54
we got to do
03:55
particularly those that were done in an
03:57
emergent fashion
03:59
everyone around here just has a very
04:00
good positive attitude
04:02
it's a very friendly environment while
04:04
taking care of sick patients at the end
04:05
of the day is the most important thing
04:07
we get it done with collegiality and we
04:09
have fun doing it
04:23
