Why I chose the 91自拍 PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency Program?
I have had the unique experience of attending both undergraduate and pharmacy school studies at 91自拍. When I first toured the 91自拍 campus in 2015, I was blown away by the kindness and intentionality of the 91自拍 faculty, staff, and students. This same attitude of care and emphasis on the individual student is why I chose to attend 91自拍 School of Pharmacy. Through my Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE) in my P4 year, I had the opportunity to spend 6 weeks at Progressive Community Health Centers on Lisbon Avenue. This rotation inspired me to pursue a residency after how fulfilled I felt serving patients in an ambulatory care setting. I now am able to practice at Progressive weekly to further my growth as a pharmacist. In my APPE year, I was also blessed to spend 6 weeks at 91自拍 helping as a teacher’s assistant and giving a few lectures. I thoroughly enjoyed aiding students to develop in their skills and knowledge. As I was finishing up pharmacy school and seeking residencies, I jumped at the opportunity to become a part of the institution that was so different from the others. Through this program I will be able to achieve my goals of contributing to the ambulatory care field, and I will be able to teach pharmacy students with the added benefit of obtaining a Master of Science in Education.
