Why University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics

I was initially drawn to the pharmacy residency program at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics due to the wide variety of clinically challenging rotations and the well-established relationship amongst pharmacists and the interdisciplinary teams. UIHC’s close relationship with the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy also allows for me to gain experience in both didactic education and in precepting skills. The supportive environment and large breath of practice here at Iowa allows me to be fully immersed in my training and to hone my skills in becoming an independent practitioner.
