Why University of Iowa Health Care? 

I chose the University of Iowa for the wide variety of experiences they offered through rotations, teaching at the pharmacy school, and much more. I knew the opportunities they provided would allow me to learn and grow extensively to be a well-rounded pharmacist. I also wanted to be a strong component of the healthcare team at the leading healthcare provider in the state of Iowa and a nationally recognized institution. On top of that, they have such a welcoming environment and many amazing preceptors that truly want you to excel.

Favorite thing to do in Iowa city so far: 

Exploring the many food and drink options with my co-residents!
