Why University of Iowa Health Care

I wanted to come to University of Iowa Health Care 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 have exposed me to different disease states and have helped determine my interests. I also wanted to be at 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 thing to do in Iowa City so far:

Exploring new restaurants and breweries with my co-residents
