Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to pursue a pharmacy residency because I wanted to becoming a confident and well-rounded clinical pharmacist who can provide high-quality, evidence-based patient care in a multidisciplinary setting. I value the opportunity to explore and refine my interests in various specialties through hands-on learning. I see residency as an essential step toward not only clinical competence but also leadership, teaching, and research involvement.

Why did I choose St. Joseph’s Hospital North at BayCare?
I was fortunate to complete a few of my APPE rotations at BayCare, I was drawn to the supportive and collaborative environment within the institution. What stood out to me about St. Joseph’s Hospital North was the warm and welcoming energy I felt after my interview as well as the diverse range of rotations offered which aligns perfectly with my interests. This program is the ideal place for me to continue my professional training and growth.
