00:15
the prisma health
00:16
preventive medicine residency program is
00:20
the only preventive medicine program in
00:22
the state of south carolina
00:24
our specialty is training
00:28
that involves not only a clinical
00:30
component to the training
00:32
but a portion of the training is
00:35
significantly involved with the masters
00:38
of public health in the university of
00:40
south carolina
00:41
arnold school of public health which has
00:43
a very strong
00:45
public health program and
00:48
our presidents spend time not only with
00:51
the school of
00:52
public health and in different clinical
00:54
settings
00:55
but they also spend time in different
00:58
practicum or non-clinical settings
01:00
in areas such as
01:04
health care management with blue cross
01:06
blue shield in public health practice
01:08
with
01:09
the state health department as we call
01:11
it here in south carolina
01:12
dhec and also other various partners
01:16
that we have
01:18
relationships with what i'm most proud
01:20
of in our specialty program
01:23
is number one our board pass rates our
01:26
residents are very successful in sitting
01:28
and taking the boards and passing the
01:29
boards
01:30
and also the diversity of preventive
01:33
medicine
01:33
specialists that our program produces
01:36
through
01:36
training and the various jobs that our
01:40
residents
01:40
undertake after they've completed our
01:43
program
01:44
what our residents can expect as key
01:45
experiences in this program
01:47
is the diversity of their of their
01:49
training
01:50
really in the different rotations that
01:53
they undertake
01:54
and also their mph curriculum
01:57
so i think they will be very
01:59
well-rounded
02:00
when they finish their training and they
02:02
will be ready to
02:04
undertake their jobs in the workforce as
02:07
preventive medicine residents
02:09
they also will be very prepared to take
02:12
the board exam
02:13
and so i think those are very big
02:16
takeaways from the program
02:18
our program supports work-life balance
02:20
and wellness
02:21
because we have actually incorporated
02:24
wellness and work-life balance
02:27
opportunities and
02:28
and stressing those aspects of
02:31
training within our program and also
02:35
at the department level so we have a
02:38
resident wellness curriculum
02:40
built into our regular didactic
02:42
curriculum we spend a lot of time to
02:44
make sure that that's incorporated in
02:46
our resident training time
02:48
and also we formalize our residents
02:50
contact
02:51
with the institutions
02:54
employee assistance program so our
02:56
residents are very aware that that
02:57
resource is there
02:58
and we highly encourage residents to
03:00
utilize that resource
03:02

03:36
when i was going through
03:38
my options in the various programs that
03:40
offer preventive medicines
03:42
we came to find out that the prisma
03:44
health preventive medicine residency
03:47
had a wide range of programs that i
03:50
integrated in preventive medicine such
03:52
as the occupational health
03:54
the general preventive medicine and
03:56
public health
03:57
and the preventive medicine here also
04:00
works in conjunction with the family
04:02
medicine
04:03
residency so we also have clinicals
04:05
where we get our clinical training
04:08
and we also have um the department of
04:10
health that we call the heck here we
04:12
also have our rotations here
04:14
and the mph program why i came also here
04:16
is because the classes
04:18
are well integrated into preventive
04:20
medicines
04:21
that are you know immediately as you
04:23
graduate you are ready for the next
04:25

04:32

04:32
the folks that teach the program are
04:34
world-renowned in what they do
04:36
and you know it's very appealing the
04:38
most important thing about the program
04:39
is that
04:40
it covers all the aspects of general
04:42
preventive medicine
04:43
talk about occupational medicine talking
04:46

04:47

04:53

04:57
i chose brismet health for preventive
04:59

05:03

05:06
oriented attendings a very well as

05:18
started the didactics have been very
05:21
well cleared very well stated

05:32
like a direct question about scheduling
05:34

05:50
a great support of my faculty
05:54

05:57
trying to see if we need anything if
05:59
