専攻医OB（姫循時代）からいただいたコメント

当科では、ともに地域を支えていただける若い先生方を募集しています。当科の売りは、下記のようにいくつもあります。一緒に頑張ってみませんか？最近のOBの先生方に在籍時に学んだことや、研修の感想について、コメントをいただきましたので、以下に紹介します。

医師4年目から6年目までの3年間

姫循では非常に多くの循環器疾患の臨床経験と学会発表の経験を積むことが出来ました。各分野のエキスパートの先生がおられ、一流の治療を学ぶことができました。また、研修に来る専攻医は意識が高く、上を目指す意欲の高いメンバーであり、互いに刺激を受けながら切磋琢磨することが出来ました。

重症心不全患者の集中治療や、冠動脈疾患及び不整脈疾患のカテーテル治療などの幅広い臨床経験を積みながら、学会発表にも多く参加させて頂くことができ、循環器疾患の知識・技術を得ることが出来ました。

医師6、7年目の2年間

自治医科大学を卒業し、義務年限内の県養成医として自由に研修できる2年間に以下のことを実現できる研修先を考えていました。

1. 緊急のカテーテル治療で独り立ち
2. 重症心不全管理
3. 不整脈の専門治療、SHDといった地域の市中病院では対応できない治療を学ぶ
4. 学会発表、論文作成といった学術的な活動

さまざまな病院での研修を悩みましたが、症例数の豊富な姫循に決めました。結果としてこの選択は大成功でした。

初めの1年は元々興味のあった虚血性心疾患に対するインターベンションだけではなく、今まで勉強することの少なかった不整脈グループもローテーションさせていただき、循環器診療全般の専門的知識を勉強できました。

2年目はカテーテル治療を中心に勉強させていただくという形で非常に柔軟な自分の希望に沿った研修をさせていただくことができました。緊急カテーテル治療の件数が多く、緊急治療は若手医師が中堅医師のサポート下に任されるため、2年で150症例程度、非常に多くの治療を経験することができました。そして、高度複雑病変の治療については、エキスパートの先生の治療を学ぶことができ、どの病院に行っても通用するようなカテーテル治療の考え方を学ぶことができます。

また、2年間を通して常にCCU、一般病棟含めた多数の患者さんを受持させていただき、重症心不全患者の管理やSHDの治療など、今まで自分が紹介していたような患者に対する治療をとてもたくさん経験することができ非常に自分の診療レベルを上げることができました。学会発表や論文作成など、ほとんど経験のなかった学術活動についても一から丁寧に諸先輩方からご指導を受けることができ、研究の進め方、解析の方法など細かく学ぶことができました。実際にコロナ以前でしたので海外の大きな学会での発表も経験でき、case report, original articleいずれも2年間で作成することができました。

上司、同期、後輩ともに非常に尊敬できる方ばかりで切磋琢磨しながら、また困った時には何でも相談できる環境だと思います。また仕事以外でも仲良くしていただき、たくさんの繋がりを得ることができたことも姫路で働いたからこそだと感じています。

姫循を卒業した後、地域の中核病院に戻りましたが、循環器診療の底上げができたのではないかと感じており、今後の自分のことを考えながらたくさんの機会を与えていただいた姫循には本当に感謝しております。やる気があれば何でも可能にしてくれる病院だと思います。みなさんぜひ一度姫路で勉強してみてください。

医師6年目の1年間

姫循での研修は、本当に充実した日々でした。県内では圧倒的に多くのカテーテル症例があり、毎朝のカンファで全症例じっくり方針を相談した上でカテに入ることができました。さらにストラクチャー治療も多く、数多くの治療を経験しました。主治医は一人という制度でしたので、責任は大きかったですがやりがいも大きかったです。もちろん治療方針は一人で抱え込む訳ではなく、気軽に相談することができました。

OBになって感じているのは、姫循は医師、コメディカル含めて非常に臨床能力が高く、臨床的な経験やセンス、勘みたいなものを磨くのには最高の施設だと思います。それだけでなく、学術活動も盛んで、素敵な上級医が熱心に指導してくれます。私自身も複数の学会発表や論文作成が出来ましたし、何より周りの先生のおかげで臨床経験だけでなくリサーチマインドを得ました。

このような盛り沢山の経験ができる施設ですが、先生方は皆気さくで良い人ばかりで、若手医師も仲良く仕事をしています。また姫循での出会いというのはかけがえのないものであり、今も、これからの医師人生でも、宝物になると思っています。

当科が関連した学術論文

当科では以前より独自の臨床研究、症例報告に加えて、神戸大学との共同研究や全国規模の臨床試験や治験に積極的に参加してきました。また、学会活動に加え、論文作成にも励んでいます。最近では専攻医の先生方に積極的にCase reportを書いていただいています。
