Why” was completing a residency at Ohio State beneficial to your career?
The residency at OSU was the key piece that unlocked the door to the opportunities that have been presented to me since finishing residency training. The preceptors and program directors instilled a sense of innovation and hard work that carried with me to my first position at Northeast Ohio Medical University College of Pharmacy. As I reflect back to the residency program and practice sites that are a part of the OSU residency program, it is apparent how much the OSU community/ambulatory care practice sites were, and still are, on the cutting edge of practice.
The areas of emphasis of the residency program and skills I learned during residency training were essential. The strong patient care experiences combined with a focus on teaching and research assisted me greatly upon entering a faculty position. I felt prepared to enter the classroom, engage in research and balance the demands of a practice-based faculty position. The focus of the OSU residency program on having its graduates become a “change agent” in the profession has inspired my current work to develop, implement and evaluate numerous patient care services throughout NE Ohio that have positively impacted patient care and expanded the role of the pharmacist.
