Why UW? I was initially interested in UW Health based on the complexity of its adult and pediatric patients and the progressive involvement of emergency medicine pharmacists in multiple aspects of patients' care. I connected with my preceptors and felt that they fostered a challenging, but highly supportive learning environment. I appreciate the close relationships that pharmacists have established with the medical providers and nurses in the emergency department, and that foundation has made the ED a great place to learn and work. Additionally, I was drawn to an institution with a large residency class and have enjoyed getting to know and learn from my co-residents. To top it all off, the great things you may have heard about Madison are true - this is a great place to live!
