Why UW? I chose to continue my training at UW Health because the residency program is well established and provides vast opportunities to explore different areas of infectious diseases (ID) pharmacy practice. ID pharmacists at UW Health are involved at all levels of antimicrobial stewardship and review unique infections in complex patient populations. There are limitless opportunities to be involved with clinical research, qualitative projects, and academia thanks to the relationships the ID pharmacy team has built with professional organizations and the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy. UW Health provides comprehensive clinical training to ensure residents are set up for success upon program completion.

Why UW? I chose to stay at UW Health for a PGY2 because of the incredible preceptors that made a major impact on my PGY1 year. There is a strong focus on autonomy in order to become well-rounded, independent pharmacists who know how to approach complex patients, while providing a strong support when needed. The ID program at UW Health pushes its residents to become an integrated member of the healthcare team and we become a resource for physicians and residents. My residency at UW Health will provide me the unique experiences in order to become the clinical pharmacist I want to be.
