COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) Theyre from all over the country, and many have plans on making this area their future homes, once their three year residency ends. <\/p>\n
A new chapter is in the works for these recent med school graduates. <\/p>\n
Their residency here at Baptist, means theyre one step closer to practicing medicine on their own. <\/p>\n
When that happens, the hospital hopes theyll continue practicing here. <\/p>\n
Ive always wanted to help people. Somehow, someway, says Internal Medicine Resident, Dr. Chadwick Mayes. <\/p>\n
Thats why Mayes has worked for years to get to where he is today. <\/p>\n
Hes following in his dads footsteps, and plans on staying in Mississippi, caring for Mississippians. <\/p>\n
Ive learned all the history about how, you know, Mississippi has a very large population of under-served areas. My dad is in primary care and all of that stuff, so Ive been kind of told, youre going to practice in Mississippi, and Ive grown to love Mississippi, so as far as that goes, Im staying. They cant get rid of me if they tried. <\/p>\n
Resident Dr. Eileen Ramos calls the countryside of California home, and says its that country feel that attracted her to the Golden Triangle. <\/p>\n
For a lot of us, this was our first choice. So, were really just so happy that even the hospital chose us as their first choice, so I mean, the match is so complex and so emotional, you know? You really want to be in a place where you feel home and I know for me, thats what I felt at the end of the interview, so its really like a dream come true to be here. <\/p>\n
Politicians may debate healthcare, but these new doctors are committed to providing the best personal care possible. <\/p>\n
We just have that kind of motivation to just work through it. No matter what, Im going to be that kind of doctor who is just going to figure out the system for my patient. It doesnt matter if there is a new a law, a new regulation, theres restrictions, whatever, Im going to be that person whose just going to learn it as fast as I can, says Internal Medicine Resident, Dr. Ramos. <\/p>\n
Medicine is an art and for me personally, providing care and helping people, thats the number one priority. Now, as far as the business aspect side of it, or the political aspect of it, Im sure that will work itself out at some point or another, but from my end you know, were here to help people, says Internal Medicine Resident, Dr. Medhat Hamed. <\/p>\n
The first class will graduate in 2020. <\/p>\n
