Why University of Iowa Health Care

I chose the University of Iowa Health Care due to the large variety of available clinical rotations in both my interest areas as well as other practice areas. Being a large academic medical center, Iowa offered a diverse patient population and a well-rounded experience.  The connection to the college of pharmacy and the PEPPR program also offered the opportunity to work with other learners and precept students. During my time as a pharmacy student at the University of Iowa I was able to see first-hand the value of pharmacists on a multidisciplinary team and their impact on patient care at this institution.

Favorite thing to do in Iowa City so far:

Try new restaurants and watch Hawkeye sporting events.
