Noelle Hutton
PGY1 - St. Anthony's Hospital
Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to complete a pharmacy residency because I wanted to continue growing my knowledge in a profession that I’m passionate about. Working in a hospital setting offers constant opportunities to learn, and I wanted a career where I could make a real difference in patients’ lives. I enjoy being able to help others while also challenging myself and applying what I’ve learned in school to real-world situations. Although it took me some time to figure out which area of pharmacy I wanted to pursue, my fourth-year rotations helped solidify my decision. After those experiences, I knew hospital pharmacy was the right fit for me because of the fast-paced environment, the variety of clinical experiences, and the opportunity to be directly involved in patient care.
Why did I choose St. Anthony’s Hospital at BayCare?
I chose St. Anthony’s for several reasons. Not only did the environment and the people stand out to me, but the location is also beautiful, and the program offered a wide variety of electives in areas that interested me. During my interview, I felt comfortable and welcomed from the moment I arrived, which is when I knew that St. Anthony’s was the right fit for me.

Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to complete a pharmacy residency because I wanted to continue growing my knowledge in a profession that I’m passionate about. Working in a hospital setting offers constant opportunities to learn, and I wanted a career where I could make a real difference in patients’ lives. I enjoy being able to help others while also challenging myself and applying what I’ve learned in school to real-world situations. Although it took me some time to figure out which area of pharmacy I wanted to pursue, my fourth-year rotations helped solidify my decision. After those experiences, I knew hospital pharmacy was the right fit for me because of the fast-paced environment, the variety of clinical experiences, and the opportunity to be directly involved in patient care.
