Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to pursue a pharmacy residency to further develop my clinical knowledge, strengthen my critical thinking skills, and become a more well-rounded pharmacist. While my experiences provided a strong foundation, I recognized that residency would help me build the confidence and clinical foundation needed to provide the highest level of patient care. This opportunity allows me to learn from experienced mentors, gain exposure to complex patient cases across a variety of practice areas, and refine the skills necessary to make meaningful contributions to both patient outcomes and interdisciplinary healthcare teams.
