my name is sarah hinton and i'm a
00:17
medpeats physician with prisma health
00:19
and i'm the medpedes residency program
00:21
director at prisma health in greenville
00:24
we have a broad and comprehensive
00:26
medpeds curriculum and our residents
00:28
will come from this program
00:30
feeling fully like an internist fully
00:32
like a pediatrician they are well
00:34
qualified to work in the outpatient
00:35
setting in the inpatient setting or to
00:38
go into specialty tracks or fellowships
00:42
one unique thing about our program is
00:44
our medpeats hospitalist program at
00:46
greer memorial hospital which is just a
00:48
short drive away from our main teaching
00:50
hospital there is a hospital that's run
00:52
entirely by medpedes hospitalists our
00:55
residents have the opportunity to work
00:57
out there and during the course of one
00:59
day you may start your day in the
01:00
newborn nursery and then go care for an
01:02
adult patient in the emergency
01:04
department and then go care for a
01:06
patient in the intensive care unit you
01:08
may need procedures and you'll do this
01:10
all while working alongside my peach
01:12
trained physicians
01:14
our medpedes residents also get to work
01:16
alongside our specialty trained medpeds
01:18
physicians this includes adult
01:20
congenital heart disease adolescent
01:22
medicine rheumatology and primary care
01:25
sports medicine
01:26
upon graduation our residents are well
01:28
prepared to practice as outpatient
01:30
positions hospitalist or pursue
01:33
fellowship training and when you look at
01:35
our graduating classes they've done
01:37
those three things about equally
01:39
many of our residents choose to stay in
01:41
the greenville area to practice it's a
01:43
really great place to live and many of
01:45
them choose to stay with prisma health
01:47
upstate
01:48
my name is kevin applegate i am a third
01:51
year internal medicine pediatrics
01:52
resident here i think the best part of
01:55
my experience here has
01:57
been not only the great education that
01:59
overseas and the experience that we've
02:02
had
02:03
in both the inpatient medicine
02:05
outpatient side of things but also
02:08
just how much of a
02:11
collegial spirit there is here and how
02:14
much
02:15
of our experience has been
02:18
you know defined by our
02:20
co-residents our faculty attendings and
02:24
just how
02:25
much they make this learning environment
02:27
with fun and
02:29
incredibly rewarding the
02:31
incredible faculty and leadership here
02:33
have done a great job of knowing when to
02:36
help and then also knowing when to let
02:38
you have that autonomy
02:40
and really feel like you're taking care
02:42
of your patients and
02:44
you're making those decisions and i
02:46
think that that's really provided a
02:48
unique experience and has really
02:49
prepared me going forward now once i
02:52
graduate to take care of those sicker
02:54
patients and and do those procedures and
02:57
have those skills that otherwise i may
03:00
have
03:00
not had the experience so my name is
03:03
kimberly okafor and i'm a 30-year med
03:05
peds resident here in greenville south
03:07
carolina it's definitely very true that
03:10
when you're applying for residency
03:13
like the location of where the residency
03:15
program is matters
03:16
just as much of like the actual quality
03:19
of the program
03:20
i went to medical school in a pretty big
03:22
city and greenville is smaller than that
03:24
but it has all of the amenities of a
03:26
larger city that i loved
03:29
i'm a personally a foodie so the fact
03:31
that greenville has so many restaurants
03:32
was a huge drawing factor and i really
03:35
do love the downtown area the community
03:37
here is really warm so i felt like i
03:39
could get really good training here and
03:41
then i'd have a lot of fun things to do
03:43
with the little free time i have i got
03:45
such a good
03:46
feeling that graduates felt really
03:48
comfortable either completing their
03:50
training and practicing generally or
03:52
going on to fellowship so i felt like i
03:54
would be well prepared for either aspect
03:57
if i trained here
03:59
there are a lot of great programs that
04:00
do that as well but i think one thing
04:02
that put greenville over the top was the
04:04
people in the community here that really
04:06
seem
04:07
goal-oriented to helping their residents
04:09
succeed so i think that was they just
04:11
had like that special factor that made
04:13
me want to come here
04:14
medpedes is really a part of the fabric
04:16
of prisma health and we have many
04:18
medpeats positions in leadership
04:20
positions throughout the health system
04:22
this really ensures that medpedes is not
04:24
just an afterthought here it's a part of
04:26
how we provide care for our patients
04:29
