Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I decided to complete a residency in order to build upon my clinical knowledge and establish a foundation in areas of pharmacy that I hadn’t had the opportunity to experience up to this point. While the majority of my background has been in the retail pharmacy setting, I felt that pursuing a residency would assist me in becoming a well-rounded clinician by having experience in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
Why did I choose Mease Countryside Hospital at BayCare?
I chose the Mease Countryside Hospital residency program for the diverse learning experiences that aligned with my interests, as well as the overall culture of the hospital. While researching this residency and throughout the interview process, it was clear that this program is truly geared toward the resident’s interests and professional goals. I have been granted a wide variety of opportunities to expand my clinical knowledge with the guidance of trusted clinical pharmacists at our hospital. I am so grateful to be a part of a culture that feels like family here at Mease Countryside. I am confident that this PGY-1 program will allow me to flourish as a new pharmacist and help me achieve my professional goals.
