Why University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics

I wanted to come to the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics because pharmacists here are viewed in such high regard and are able to practice at the top of their license, especially in the ambulatory care setting. There are a vast number of rotation opportunities in the specialty clinics which will expose me to different disease states and help determine my interests. I also wanted a residency program that offered opportunities to teach in a pharmacy school and precept students. Another aspect that drew me to this program was the large residency class. I wanted to be a part of a larger class since I was moving to a new area and didn't know anyone in the Iowa City area.

Favorite Part of Iowa City

Exploring new restaurants and hanging out with my co-residents.
