ehfrost Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi folks, Curious if anyone here has been through/applied/is enrolled in the CHS fellowship program. If so, I would appreciate the chance to pick your brain. Please pm me if you're willing to discuss your experience. Also curious what people think of their UC and FP tracks? Compared to high acuity settings, these seem less "necessary" than advanced training but I am drawn to them nonetheless. Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm not enrolled in any of them, but I've looked pretty closely at that residency. Like you, I wonder just how useful it would be to do a residency in UC or FP. I'm sure it would be valuable, but it seems like a much smaller benefit than you would get in something like EM or critical care. I'd like to hear from anyone who has done one of these CHS fellowships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 22, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2014 could you post a link? I'm pretty well versed on the postgrad training options out there and don't know what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Aren't these the new fellowships just announced a few months ago? For PAs and NPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehfrost Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 CHS had a core set of fellowships back last summer and seem to be adding one or two options every few months. My impression of this track is a strategic move by CHS to get ACPs trained in their method (so to speak) and build a very broad and specialized workforce to meet "growing demand" amongst rising pt population. Great business move for them, and possibly great news for pas and nps...if the compensation is competitive (signing bonus is nice) To PAs in practice; what are your opinions of the fm and im options? Just in general... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I support FP and IM residencies and they could equip a PA/NP beyond the basics if done right. I would love to do one if it covered more than preventive care, etc. In-depth training on caring for diabetes, lung disease, heart disease, GI issues, etc., plus threw in some hospitalist type training. I agree CHS has made a smart move. Quality of the residency is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 It is nice to see the collaboration between PA/NP disciplines and I am impressed with the offerings. This is the type of post-graduate training that should be offered nationwide by teaching hospitals, etc. It would do much for both professions and would probably help physicians to stop saying we are unsafe providers and accept what we add to the patient care. Also the CHS recognizes that we are not mid-levels and calls us advanced practitioners. NIce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgreene Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Sorry to chime in late, my name is Cragin Greene I am the PA fellowship director for the above referenced ACP fellowship program. The above string is correct in that we are a new post graduate training program offering 10 specialty tracks. Our first cohort started in October 2013 and will graduate in Oct 2014. Each specialty track has a physician medical director, and ACP coordinator in addition to many participating physicians and ACPs in the system. Each track consists of weekly didactic sessions, extensive patient contact hours, simulation center time, focused skills training and credentialing, journal club, case study conferences, grand rounds, various CME opportunities, and PA/NP collaboration throughout the fellowship. I am happy to answer any general or specific questions through the forum or by phone or email. cragin.greene@carolinas.org 704-446-5179 Cragin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paula Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I like the Family Medicine fellowship. If only it could be transported to the UP. I would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Did you apply for a residency or is this employment? I forget when you graduate!!! I finish up in August and am starting CHS' hospitalist residency. I got a good vibe from the program when interviewing and the facilities were really nice. I also like the heavy didactic component that is included. Charlotte seems like an awesome place to live, especially after I've been in the desert for the last couple of years.

chatcat Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Smart business move for CHS with the various residencies offered and then the CHS employment opportunities for those who have trained in their system.I think this would be a great move for the new grad to gain experience. Congrats and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
