Why did I choose to complete a residency?
I was determined to pursue a pharmacy residency to become a well-rounded pharmacist and gain deeper clinical experience. I have a strong passion for acute care and cardiology, and residency offers the opportunity to gain hands-on exposure in these areas while also exploring other specialties. This broad experience allows me to strengthen my clinical weaknesses and continue learning in a dynamic environment. Additionally, I was drawn to the opportunity for professional growth particularly in leadership and education which residency supports through experiences in precepting, interdisciplinary collaboration, and project management.
Why did I choose St. Joseph’s Hospital South at BayCare?
Ever since I became part of the BayCare family during my first year of pharmacy school, I knew I wanted to continue being part of a culture that provides strong support, fosters growth, and prioritizes treating patients with excellence and compassion. My experience at St. Joseph’s South was particularly impactful, it was there where I fell in love with emergency medicine and realized this is where I wanted to be trained. I am confident that training in this environment will help me become a better clinician and be able to provide the highest level of care to my patients.
