The Christ Hospital Pharmacy Residents - PGY2 Cardiology
Read below about our wonderful Cardiology Residents here at The Christ Hospital Pharmacy Residency PGY2 Cardiology Program.
Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio Pharmacy School: University of Cincinnati, James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy PGY1 Residency: The Christ Hospital Interests: spending time with my family, cooking, and attending Pure Barre classes Why TCH? I worked at TCH as a pharmacy intern and completed my PGY1 here at TCH. I have loved being apart of the TCH pharmacy team for the past 5 years and have truly enjoyed getting to learn from each member of the department. Staying at TCH for PGY2 was an easy decision. TCH offers robust, cutting edge, cardiology services and I knew that completing my PGY2 here at TCH would set me up to excel in my future career. I have a specific clinical interest in heart failure and mechanical circulatory support devices, both of which are well represented in the patient population at TCH. Outside of all the amazing clinical experience TCH has to offer, they also have the best preceptors. Our preceptors are incredibly knowledgeable in their respective areas, are patient with students/residents, and are passionate about teaching. Excellent preceptorship is vital to a resident’s success, and I truly believe the preceptors here at TCH have played a pivotal role in my current successes. Advice for PGY1 residents interested in pursuing a PGY2: If you have any specific clinical interest, I encourage you to take those rotations early in your PGY1 year. This will help guide your decision to a PGY2 specialty. Make your PGY1 experience as broad as possible, even if you know what you want to specialize in as a PGY2. There is so much more to learn about pharmacy outside of your clinical specialty. Learning the other sides of pharmacy will make you a stronger, well-rounded pharmacist in the long run.
Hometown: Walton, Kentucky Pharmacy School: University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy PGY1 Residency: AdventHealth Orlando Interests: I enjoy “all things Disney.” I love to spend time with my family and my little niece and nephew. For exercise, I enjoy going for a run or playing sand volleyball. It’s not uncommon to find me in a local coffee shop. Why TCH: I was born and raised in the greater Cincinnati area, and therefore, was well aware of the excellent reputation of The Christ Hospital cardiovascular service line. During my interview process, it was very evident that the faculty is passionate about their PGY2 cardiology pharmacy residency program. I was impressed with the wide range of learning opportunities and the willingness of the program to help me personalize my experience. During my time here so far, this program has helped me grow by challenging me and supporting me through a variety of both clinical and academic activities. Advice for PGY1 residents interested in pursuing a PGY2: I would encourage all PGY1 residents to take their special interest rotations early in the year. This will help in the decision-making process. Additionally, keep all of your PGY1 literature reviews, topic discussions and other important documents; they will be invaluable for your PGY2 experience. Last but not least, it is important to find a PGY2 program that encourages a good work/life balance and one that mixes a little fun with challenging growth opportunities.
