Why did you choose to pursue a residency?
Being able to experience different rotations to find my niche specialty really puts the resident in the most optimal environment. When there is an opportunity to build a strong clinical foundation and pursue specializing in the rapidly-growing infectious diseases field, how can I turn that down?
What attracted you to the Froedtert & MCW pharmacy residency program?
Froedtert Hospital is a major academic medical center that offers many progressive residency training opportunities to give the resident experience in various clinical scenarios. The unity amongst the clinical pharmacists creates a strong glue allowing the team to thrive. I knew for certain that completing a residency here will put me in the best position to succeed going forward.
