During the second year (2018), all categorical and research/fast-track residents participated, as well as half of our primary care residents who chose to use elective time to participate. During the first year (2017), only categorical residents participated in this curriculum due to scheduling limitations. We repeated the curriculum in 3 consecutive blocks (over 6 weeks) each year with one-third of the residents participating in each block. During postgraduate year (PGY) 2, residents have a mandatory 2-week quality improvement/patient safety (QI/PS) rotation during one of their outpatient blocks with 40 hours of dedicated nonclinical time over 2 weeks along with required ambulatory clinic.

Our program uses a “4 + 2” schedule (4 weeks inpatient + 2 weeks outpatient clinic). Trainees rotate at 3 sites: a university hospital, a municipal referral hospital, and a VA hospital. New York University School of Medicine's internal medicine residency program is a large university-based academic program that participates in the VA Chief Residents in Quality and Patient Safety program.

I look forward to continuing my educational journey at Sugar Creek and to serving our students, staff and families.Matthew S. Additionally, our staff collaborates on planning and developing lessons that meet students where they are in their academics, behavior and social/emotional needs. When our students, staff and community work on displaying these values, then our foundation of being a No Place for Hate school strengthens. Our school’s focus will continue towards being “Shark Strong” and working towards the character values of showing respect, having integrity and being kind. Communicating effectively with parents and the community is an important way to keep families informed of class activities, PTO and school events. This motto stems from our school district’s vision of Children First…Every Day.Ī successful education is a joint effort between the school and the home which is why family and community are the fundamentals of Sugar Creek. Our motto at Sugar Creek is putting children first, striving for excellence and building positive relationships. I am so blessed to begin my 25th year of being an educator in the Fort Mill School District. My name is Michelle Gritz and I am proud to be Principal at Sugar Creek!
