We describe our program as "procedure-focused residency training." Family physicians provide the training in C-Sections, BTLs, EGD, colonoscopy, LEEP, vasectomy and other procedures including treadmill testing. After the intern year in Anderson, SC, the last two years are essentially an apprenticeship in an office of 5 physicians with over 90 years cumulative experience in private practice.
