Biography
Hometown: Sterling Heights, MI
Pharmacy School: University of Michigan College of Pharmacy
Why did you choose Michigan's residency program? I chose the PGY1 Managed Care residency program at the University of Michigan Prescription Drug Plan because I appreciate being on a team that emphasizes the importance of resident learning. My RPD and preceptors work closely with me and guide me to build the knowledge and skills needed to be a strong managed care pharmacist. Being the only managed care resident in this program, I also enjoy having the other PGY1 co-residents to build relationships with!
