our Residency program is a rural family
0:17
medicine program here in senica we are
0:19
affiliated with the University of South
0:21
Carolina School of Medicine Greenville
0:23
and our east of us we're on the campus
0:25
of okone Memorial Hospital we have six
0:27
residents per year for a total
0:28
complement of 18 and our mission is to
0:31
really train doctors for Rural full
0:34
spectrum practice that improves the
0:35
health of communities that they are
0:37
going to go out and serve in one of the
0:39
key elements of our Residency program is
0:40
actually our longitudinal curriculum
0:42
it's one of the things that makes our
0:43
program very unique it's pretty Cutting
0:45
Edge as far as family medicine
0:47
curriculum goes our residents don't
0:49
rotate on a block schedule like most
0:51
other residency programs in the country
0:52
do we rotate weekly which sounds pretty
0:55
intense and it is but it really does
0:57
prepare our residents for practice
1:00
outside of residency it allows our
1:02
Learners to learn with that space
1:04
repetition that really does reinforce
1:06
all the information that they learn over
1:08
time and allows them to be able to reach
1:10
back and grab all the information that
1:11
they need moving forward and really does
1:13
prepare them for a practice outside of
1:15
residency our goal is to provide the
1:18
best quality care that we can in a rule
1:21
setting we're located at the foothills
1:23
of Appalachia and so we get all walks of
1:26
life coming through our Clinic we have a
1:27
Hispanic population we have with access
1:30
to medications and Medical Care issues
1:34
we really tried to tailor our care to
1:36
those people we have a number of set
1:38
Outreach opportunities through our OB
1:40
clinics and Magdalene clinics and in our
1:43
community as well during my interviews
1:46
this program just really jumped off the
1:48
charts for me the interviewers were so
1:51
kind so personable and then the area had
1:53
a lot to offer in your first year you'll
1:55
do a lot of inpatient it's a little more
1:57
intensive but it really gives you a
2:00
really good platform and knowledge base
2:01
to jump off and be really efficient in
2:03
your second and third years and help the
2:05
new incoming interns you'll do a lot of
2:07
op you'll do a lot of Pediatrics and
2:09
inpatient family medicine and then still
2:11
carry your own patient panel throughout
2:13
the year in clinic get a really good
2:15
diverse experience with a lot of good
2:17
teachers throughout the hospital
2:18
regionally this was a draw to me be a
2:21
little bit closer to my family I just
2:22
got a really great feeling when I
2:24
interviewed with the program all of the
2:26
faculty I interviewed with as well as
2:27
the residents I got to talk to the
2:29
program has a lot to offer as an
2:31
unopposed program in a rural area I knew
2:34
that I would get a really robust
2:35
education as a family medicine provider
2:37
seeing a lot of different pathology here
2:39
and having a ton of learning
2:41
opportunities available to me our
2:43
culture here is great cuz we're the only
2:44
program on this campus and so all of the
2:47
community faculty know our residents and
2:49
our residents know all of them they get
2:51
together outside of work we have 5Ks and
2:54
competitions between us and other
2:56
departments there really is a collegial
2:59
atmosphere here this really is a
3:00
Community campus the word family gets
3:03
thrown around a lot when you're
3:04
interviewing and when you're on the
3:06
trail but I can really say that is
3:07
something that defines the cynica Family
3:09
Medicine Residency program I feel like
3:11
they care about me they're invested in
3:12
me they love to teach they're patient
3:14
they're kind and they're invested in
3:16
your success as an individual everyone's
3:18
very supportive and it's just a very
3:19
friendly atmosphere my piece of advice
3:22
would be to look for a program that you
3:23
really feel has a good knit support
3:26
system and family feel we definitely
3:29
have that in our program we're so
3:31
supportive so kind so honest our goal is
3:33
to Train full spectrum rural Family
3:36
Physicians our goal is to serve our
3:39
community as best we can and to retain
3:41
as many of our physicians as we can in
3:43
the area to help serve this particular
3:45
patient population we've been able to
3:47
keep a lot of our first graduating class
3:50
in the nearby area to actually stayed on
3:52
board as faculty so I would call that a
3:54
huge
3:57
