Why University of Iowa Health Care?

The University of Iowa Health Care residency program interested me due to the variety of ambulatory clinics where pharmacists play a vital role in patient care. The collaboration between the pharmacists and the interdisciplinary team creates a partnership where we can add our expertise to produce positive outcomes. The connection with the College of Pharmacy allows me to expand my teaching and precepting skills to help future pharmacists. The astounding preceptors and pharmacists are always eager to help me and support me when needed. I couldn’t think of a better place to complete my residency!

Favorite thing to do in Iowa City so far:

Attending athletic events including football and basketball. I also enjoy hanging out with my coresidents by trying out new restaurants or going to social events! My favorite thing to do in the fall is go to Wilson’s Orchard to get apple cider donuts, search for the perfect pumpkin, and pick apples.
