it's official

We found out last Wednesday that we will officially be living in Greenwood for another year.  I will be completing residency in June of this year, and will start a one year fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine July 1st.  This has been a growing passion of mine since medical school, and we have felt confident that we are called to stay here another year to further my training in this field.

This extra year will give me added training and qualification for management of all things sports from ankle sprains to compartment syndrome to sudden cardiac death.  To work at the upper levels of collegiate sports or beyond, and to work as a consultant for other physicians, this level of training is becoming the standard and nearly a requirement. I will work primarily in our Sports Medicine Center where we see all types of problems, working with Erskine College, Lander University, and Wofford College, as well as taking care of the same high school I have covered for the past 2 football seasons (McCormick County). 

Probably the best part of the extra time we will spend here will be working under two doctors who are already mentors as physicians and Godly men.  I have already learned and grown through their mentoring and example, and look forward to continued time working even more closely with both of them.
