Why did you choose to pursue a residency?

I chose to pursue a residency in order to enhance my clinical knowledge, problem solving skills, and communication abilities so I can practice at the top of my license and better serve my patients.

What attracted you to the Froedtert & MCW pharmacy residency program?

I ultimately want to work with patients in the ambulatory care setting so the fact that Froedtert Hospital offers a PGY1 with ambulatory focus was a huge draw for me. I was impressed by the extent at which pharmacists are utilized in both primary care and specialty clinics and the rate at which pharmacy services continue to expand. On interview day, I felt that the preceptors were truly excited to work with residents and would provide the challenging yet supportive environment I was looking for.
