Why did I choose to complete a residency?
A pharmacy residency provides the opportunity to gain experience across diverse practice settings while strengthening my clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and decision-making skills. I also value the opportunity to engage in quality improvement initiatives and research, as these experiences are integral to advancing pharmacy practice and improving patient outcomes. By learning alongside experienced preceptors and collaborating with interdisciplinary healthcare teams, I am confident that I will further develop my clinical judgment, professional confidence, and leadership skills, ultimately preparing me to provide high-quality, patient-centered care as a well-rounded pharmacist.
