Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I was determined to pursue a pharmacy residency to become a well-rounded pharmacist and gain deeper clinical experience. I have a strong passion for acute care and cardiology, and residency offers the opportunity to gain hands-on exposure in these areas while also exploring other specialties. This broad experience allows me to strengthen my clinical weaknesses and continue learning in a dynamic environment. Additionally, I was drawn to the opportunity for professional growth particularly in leadership and education which residency supports through experiences in precepting, interdisciplinary collaboration, and project management.
