Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to complete a residency to solidify and build upon my clinical knowledge. During pharmacy school, I knew that I wanted to be a clinical pharmacist in a hospital, but was not sure about the area of inpatient pharmacy I wanted to pursue. After talking with residents, I realized that a PGY1 was the perfect opportunity to experience various areas of inpatient pharmacy.

Why did I choose Morton Plant Hospital at BayCare?
I chose to pursue a PGY1 residency at Morton Plant Hospital because of the positive experiences I have had as a pharmacy intern there over the last few years. After having the chance to work with some of the preceptors and seeing the opportunities that are offered throughout each rotation, I knew this residency would challenge and prepare me for my career in pharmacy.
