Program Description
Our program is located in one of the South’s great family destinations. The sandy beaches, mild climate and endless area attractions, as well as state-of-the-art medical facilities make Myrtle Beach an attractive place to learn as well as play. We are affiliated with an acute care hospital that is renowned for its cardiac and stroke services as well as its trauma center, which is the busiest in the state. Residents will have the opportunity to learn and perfect clinical skills and procedures in our state-of-the-art simulation training lab. In these experiences, residents will be able to work in groups to treat common medical emergencies as well as practice procedures such as Central Line Placement, Difficult Airway Management, Lumbar Punctures, Joint Injections, and Obstetric and Gynecologic procedures. Residents will also learn to recognize, evaluate and manage children who have been sexually or physically abused, including the performance of forensic medical exams. Additionally, our residents will have exposure to medical humanities throughout their training. This approach utilizes various art forms in order to foster physician empathy, enhancing the patient-physician relationship and improving the quality of care as well as patient satisfaction, and hopefully serving as the basis for lifelong self-reflection and physician wellness.
