Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I chose to pursue a pharmacy residency because I wanted to continue challenging myself and expand my clinical knowledge through diverse, hands-on patient care experiences. Residency training provides me the opportunity to further develop my clinical skills, strengthen my clinical decision-making abilities, and grow into a confident healthcare professional. I want to provide the highest quality of care to my patients, and residency offers the training and mentorship needed to achieve that. Additionally, opportunities to engage in research, attend professional conferences, and deliver presentations will help me become a well-rounded pharmacist and prepare me for my future.
