Pharmacy Education: Doctor of Pharmacy, The University of North Carolina

Why did you choose TCH? "The main reason why I wanted to complete my residency training at TCH was due to the exposure I would obtain. I had planned on going into pediatric oncology and I wanted a good foundation in pediatrics. I knew that being at TCH was going to allow me to see so many aspects of pediatrics that I would not have been able to experience at most other institutions. Being at the largest pediatric hospital in the country allowed me to observe the many avenues available for pharmacist intervention and ultimately changed my career goal. Pediatric Cardiology is a relatively new field and being able to complete a rotation on a 12-bed Pediatric Cardiology ICU gave me the taste of something new and exciting. With my residency training I was able to obtain a Clinical Pharmacist position at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando, Fl as their Pediatric Cardiology ICU specialist. I will always fall back on the tools I learned at TCH and am so thankful to have the relationships with my mentors."

Why did you choose TCH? "The Pediatric Pharmacotherapy Residency at Texas Children's Hospital gave me the opportunity for intense pediatric pharmacotherapy focus. This residency allowed me to learn pediatric medicine, but also improved my public speaking and time management skills. As I start my career as a pediatric clinical pharmacist, I believe that my training at Texas Children's Hospital has given me inspiration and ability to achieve excellence in my practice."
