Three Words That You Think Best Describe Froedtert Hospital

Opportunity, advancement, diversity

What attracted you to the Froedtert Hospital's PGY2 program?

Froedtert’s PGY2 EM program is one-of-a-kind and the focus on research, toxicology, and academia aligned with my interests and goals for personal development. The 6-month prehospital EMS/Flight for Life and yearlong toxicology longitudinal aspects of this program provide a unique experience for residents. During my interview, the relationship the pharmacy team had and how valued the residents were at this institution were obvious and, In my short time being a PGY2 EM resident at Froedtert, I already feel like part of the family!
