Why did I choose to complete a residency?

I chose to pursue a pharmacy residency because I wanted to challenge and enhance my clinical skills in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. A residency provides the opportunity to work closely with interdisciplinary teams, where I can learn from both my colleagues and my patients. This collaborative setting allows me to expand my expertise in areas such as transitions of care and patient education, helping me empower patients to take an active role in their health. Additionally, I sought a residency experience that would build resilience, adaptability, and critical thinking—key qualities that are essential for both my professional growth and personal development

Why OSU?

I chose to pursue a pharmacy residency at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) because of the unparalleled opportunities it provides for clinical and professional development. The mentorship from nationally recognized leaders in their specialties has been a cornerstone of my training, guiding me as I refine my skills and knowledge in clinical pharmacy practice. The program’s strong focus on research has also allowed me to develop my skills in advancing the role of pharmacists in driving progressive improvements in patient care.

Additionally, the teaching certificate program, affiliated with The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy, ranked #4 by the U.S. News & World Report, has helped me refine my ability to educate and mentor future pharmacists, further strengthening my ability to contribute to the profession. With the residency’s vast opportunities in critical care, I look forward to continuing to build my clinical expertise in this high-acuity environment. The exposure to a wide range of critical care settings will provide invaluable experience as I work toward becoming a PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Resident at OSUWMC, where I can deepen my knowledge and further hone my skills in managing complex, life-threatening conditions.
