Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to pursue a PGY1 pharmacy residency to continue building a strong foundation in clinical practice and grow into a confident, well-rounded pharmacist. Throughout pharmacy school, I found a passion for direct patient care and making evidence-based recommendations as part of a healthcare team. A residency gives me the opportunity to further develop my clinical judgment, sharpen my communication skills, and strengthen my ability to care for diverse patient populations. I’m excited to learn from experienced pharmacists and grow through hands-on experiences that will shape my future practice.
