0:15
the typical experience for a resident in
0:16
our program uh is one that involves
0:19
patient care directly as well as
0:21
didactic rotations this is a one-year
0:24
general practice residency experience in
0:26
that one year the resident gets exposed
0:28
to multiple areas of dentist
0:30
uh we spend most of the time treating
0:32
patients here at prism Health Richland
0:34
in our in our private practice like
0:35
Clinic where you're seeing patients from
0:38
all types of backgrounds we're seeing
0:39
hospital employees we're seeing people
0:40
off the street uh you're also going to
0:42
rotate through our extraction Clinic
0:44
you'll have rotations in Family Medicine
0:46
emergency medicine and anesthesia uh
0:49
where you're going to spend time with
0:50
with physicians in in completely
0:51
different fields from dentistry and
0:53
you're going to be exposed so you can
0:54
really experience and uh feel
0:56
comfortable doing a lot of different
0:58
things I knew I had wanted to do a
0:59
Hospital based program coming out of
1:01
dental school and within the dental
1:03
Community this program is very highly
1:05
regarded a lot of people had very
1:06
positive things to say about this
1:08
program in general and I knew that I
1:09
would be able to learn new things like
1:12
implants and sedation um while still
1:14
fine-tuning some of the very basic
1:16
dental procedures that we spend a lot of
1:18
time doing in dental school what really
1:20
drew me to this program was the
1:22
association with the hospital we spend 3
1:25
weeks over at the VA doing an anesthesia
1:27
rotation we also spend a week week in
1:30
the emergency room here with the
1:32
emergency room doctors learning all
1:35
about uh the patients over there and
1:37
spending a full week over in the
1:38
emergency room and we have a rotation
1:42
coming up soon with the family medicine
1:44
doctors over in the hospital you're
1:46
seeing your own patients routinely from
1:49
anything from a cleaning and a regular
1:51
periodic exam to any kind of treatment
1:52
they would need no matter what it is a
1:54
filling Crown restorative work um if
1:57
they need something removable uh that
1:59
part I really like it's very
2:00
comprehensive and holistic we do a ton
2:02
of surgery which is a great experience
2:04
coming out of dental school you don't
2:05
get a ton of that and so that was
2:07
something I really wanted just to get
2:08
some experience and become more
2:09
comfortable with we treat kids here as
2:11
well which I really like about this
2:13
program not all hospital-based
2:15
residencies get that experience and we
2:17
are out in the community at different
2:19
free clinics um and whatnot to be able
2:22
to treat uh children which is a great
2:25
learning experience the goals of our
2:26
Residency program are not solely focused
2:29
on dentistry and expanding your skills
2:30
clinically we love being here at work
2:32
and we want our residents to love being
2:34
here too um when we're here we work
2:36
really hard and we want you to work
2:37
really hard and take care of patients
2:38
the best of your ability and take it
2:40
seriously but we also want residents to
2:42
uh be able to have a good work life
2:44
balance and I think when you have all
2:46
those things met that's when you really
2:48
can take care of patients the best the
2:50
best way we can the culture in this
2:52
program is great we have six residents
2:55
here we all get along really well we've
2:58
got four attendings here throughout the
3:00
year that have always been by our side
3:03
and are here to help us we all are in
3:05
the same room in our residency room um
3:09
and we throughout the whole day were not
3:11
afraid to ask each other for help show
3:13
each other cases and just the amount of
3:16
cases that I've seen from myself and
3:19
then from my other residents has been a
3:21
lot that I just did not get to see um in
3:25
dental school I didn't know a ton about
3:27
Columbia I'm from the south I'm from
3:28
Georgia had spent a ton of time here but
3:30
I came over and visited and I just fell
3:32
in love with the Vibes of the city it's
3:34
got a kind of a small town homey feel
3:37
while still having plenty to do no
3:39
shortage of restaurants things to do on
3:41
the weekends things to see it just felt
3:43
like I could find a good home here
3:45
anyone in dental school that's
3:47
considering a residency whether that's a
3:49
GPR an AGD um or specializing in a
3:53
residency I would definitely highly
3:55
encourage doing that the confidence I've
3:57
gained from this residency program that
4:00
I did not have leaving Dent dental
4:02
school is something I don't regret at
4:04
all I would just really encourage that
4:06
any incoming residents just be willing
4:09
to step out of your comfort zone because
4:10
it can be intimidating at times but
4:12
that's why we're here and you have great
4:14
people here to help you and to support
4:15
you and to teach you and be there for
4:17
you in whatever capacity that is um so
4:20
that we can grow you know as providers
4:21
to give our patients like I said the
4:23
best care that we can
