The Christ Hospital Pharmacy Residency - Residents
Read about our wonderful residents below!
Hometown: Villa Hills, Kentucky Pharmacy School: University of Cincinnati Interests: running, hiking, adventures with my dog, trying new restaurants, playing and watching all sports, work out classes Why TCH? TCH is the perfect mix of an academic teaching setting and community hospital feel! I knew Christ would offer a rigorous program and tremendous opportunity for growth in a supportive environment. I rotated here as a student and had an incredible learning experience with not only my preceptor but also all of the interdisciplinary staff. When I came for my interview, that sealed the deal. All of the preceptors demonstrated investment in the residents that was unmatched. They truly love precepting! Also, I got a sense that the team had fun! Everyone here loves to joke and have a good time all while taking care of patients to the highest standard. Advice for students interested in pursuing a residency: My biggest piece of advice is to reach out early to programs you are interested in! Ask questions that help you know if the program is right for you and get to know the preceptors and leadership at each program. Also, don’t be afraid to reach out to the current residents. They can give you an honest perspective about what it’s like to train at that program. Also, have trusted mentors look over your CV and letters of intent. A fresh set of eyes and feedback can help you see things you could improve. Lastly, trust the process, especially during the waiting game after interviews. It will all be worth it!
Hometown: Whitehouse, Ohio (30min south of Toledo) Pharmacy School: University of Cincinnati James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy Interests: In terms of pharmacy - internal medicine, cardiology, and critical care. But beyond pharmacy - being outdoors (gardening, going for walks, playing tennis/pickle ball, really anything), playing boardgames, and hanging with friends! Why TCH: As a previous intern at TCH, I feel at home here! Everyone I've encountered here really wants to build into me as a professional and as a person, and I really couldn't think of a better place to continue to hone my skills and start my career as a pharmacist! Advice for students interested in pursuing a residency: Try to stay open to all opportunities and possible career paths - you never know what you'll fall in love with!
Hometown: Ross, OH Pharmacy School: University of Cincinnati Interests: Working out, reading, traveling, and trying new things! Why TCH? I knew I wanted to be at TCH after my first APPE rotation here! The pharmacists are all very supportive of each other and have created such an amazing environment to learn and grow in. Many of the current pharmacists were residents here and either continued to work at TCH after residency or came back after pursing a PGY2 which shows how great of a program they have. When comparing residency programs, preceptors at TCH are what really stood out to me, they were all very welcoming and dedicated to the residency program. Everyone here truly wants the best for each of their residents! Advice for students interested in pursuing a residency: Create a plan! Know when your deadlines are and reach out early to those who you’d like to write your letters of recommendation. Make sure to do your research on each program and reach out to current residents or program directors if you have any questions. It can be a very overwhelming process, but you’ve already worked so hard to get here, just remember why you want to pursue residency and it’ll all be worth it!
Hometown: Knoxville, TN Pharmacy School: University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy Interests: College and professional football and basketball, hanging out with friends, traveling, music, working out. Why TCH?: When researching for PGY-1 programs, TCH came across my list due to the diverse amounts of experiences they offered and had PGY-2 program in Cardiology. My initial interests have lied in Cardiology since I had my Cardiology class in pharmacy school. Later, I developed an interest in the pharmaceutical industry as well. During my interview at TCH I experienced the sense of urgency and dedication that everyone had towards professional and personal developments for residents. The pharmacists and staff create a great nurturing environment for one to be successful and achieve their goals. Advice for students interested in pursuing a residency: Pay attention on all your rotation despite them being in a clinical or community setting. Save all interventions that you make on rotations. Talk to your preceptors and get know their experience on how their journey has been to the position they are in. Experience talks a lot more than just readings. It will help you understand the practical side of pharmacist journey through residency.
