Why University of Iowa Health Care

I chose the University of Iowa for residency because of the strong reputation this program has for preparing well-rounded clinicians and pharmacy professionals. From my first interaction to my interview with the UIHC, I knew this was a program that cared for their residents, while challenging each one to continue to learn and grow personally and professionally. My goal was to find a program with a strong, challenging clinical year that would prepare me to move into the second year of management through HSPAL. My decision to pursue residency at UIHC was solidified during my time in PPS, recruitment, and my interview. Another benefit of UIHC HSPAL is they allow their residents to choose between three master's degrees, where we can tailor our learning to our career goals. The people at UIHC are second to none and are the highlight of this program.

Favorite thing to do in Iowa City so far:

Exploring all the breweries, restaurants and downtown Iowa City with my co-residents.
