00:15
my name is matthew leonhardt i
00:16
am the current program director here at
00:19
prisma health
00:20
usc in columbia ob gyn residency
00:24
i really feel that our program is set
00:26
apart from from other programs and the
00:28
fact that
00:28
we really do provide quite a depth and
00:31
breadth of
00:32
full-blown ob gyn education
00:36
but still in a much smaller environment
00:38
we offer a full university setting and a
00:41
full academic
00:42
activity and academic resources
00:45
in a small tight-knit sort of community
00:48
of residents
00:49
who really value a one-on-one education
00:52
so some key experiences that residents
00:54
can expect from our program
00:57
are going to be exposure to the breadth
01:00
of sub-specialties of ob-gyn with
01:02
fellowship-trained
01:04
physicians no competition from from
01:06
fellows
01:07
an or experience for both private
01:09
physicians as well as with faculty
01:10
faculty-based
01:11
physicians we have a large number of
01:14
high-risk obstetrics
01:16
cases with a high volume of deliveries
01:20
as well as experiences with it with
01:23
obstetrics that you may not see
01:24
in many other other avenues we also
01:28
offer experiences that you may not see
01:31
in other larger programs such as
01:34
pediatrics and adolescent gynecology we
01:37
have a very interactive colposcopy and
01:39
vulvar disorders clinic
01:41
as well as we are orion residency so
01:43
exposure to family planning and the full
01:45
depth of breath and opportunities for
01:47
both counseling
01:48
and performing of procedures and are
01:51
starting
01:52
as early as the first and second year of
01:53
residency i think what really helps set
01:55
us apart
01:56
as well is we really do value
02:00
resident clinical exposure resident
02:03
clinical experience
02:05
and resident autonomy where they start
02:07
feeling comfortable
02:08
with practicing medicine on their own
02:10
and what's great is
02:11
we do offer a lot of safety nets and
02:15
our site we do it we have 24 7 coverage
02:18
at the hospital
02:19
of faculty during that clinical time
02:22
and since we do have a laborist program
02:25
that means that your faculty
02:26
are awake and actively participating i
02:29
think
02:30
because i knew the program so well
02:32
already i knew what a
02:34
wonderful environment it was and how
02:36
family oriented the program was i felt
02:38
like even as a student i was already
02:40
part of the family here
02:41
and i knew that i would fit right in i
02:44
knew that i would get
02:45
an amazing education and get all the
02:47
surgical training that i needed
02:49
and had no doubts whatsoever about how
02:51
good my experience here would be
02:53
another highlight that i think is a good
02:55
strength of our program is the amount of
02:57
ultrasound exposure
02:59
dr campbell our chair and our mfm feels
03:02
very strongly that we should be able to
03:03
perform all of our own ultrasounds if
03:05
we're going to be able to read them one
03:07
day
03:07
so we do from you know day one intern
03:10
year we have
03:11
an ultrasound rotation so we learn how
03:12
to do growths and bpps and dopplers and
03:15
we're responsible for all of that in the
03:17
hospital of getting all those
03:18
ultrasounds done
03:20
so we feel extremely confident in doing
03:23
our ob ultrasound
03:24
the top factors that played into my role
03:27
in choosing
03:28
prisma health in colombia especially
03:30
this program here
03:32
one of them was their the faculty's
03:35
interest
03:35
in advocacy patient advocacy to be
03:38
specific
03:38
and being voices for our patients not
03:41
only
03:41
in the office or the hospital but also
03:45
in politics or you know with policy
03:49
change
03:49
i definitely think the size of our
03:51
program
03:52
has affected our training opportunities
03:55
only because
03:57
you have an you have an opportunity
04:00
to be able to do everything
04:03
um you know with a relatively smaller
04:06
program right now we have four per year
04:08
i think it is well balanced in terms of
04:11
how much you get to do and the
04:14
[Music]
04:15
i guess the level of hierarchy that is
04:18
between each of our classes
04:19
and uh you know between the fourth third
04:22
second and
04:23
intern years i believe there is a good
04:26
division
04:26
of what kind of cases you get to do and
04:29
what
04:30
opportunities you get presented i think
04:32
the best part of my experience
04:34
being in columbia and at the residency
04:36
program here is really just
04:37
as i kind of mentioned earlier the
04:39
community aspect that i've been able to
04:41
experience
04:42
i hadn't lived here before i didn't know
04:43
anybody when i came here and i think
04:45
when i started my program i was welcomed
04:49
with open arms
04:50
and you know really accepted into
04:54
my program in the community and i think
04:56
that really helped me
04:58
start creating roots in colombia
05:01
and started helping me gain a little bit
05:04
more confidence in
05:05
you know branching out into other
05:06
communities and really
05:09
really trying to make this a home
