Why WVU Medicine:
I have worked at WVU Medicine for the past 7 years, and it was always my dream to be a pharmacy resident here. The residency program offered everything I was looking for being a large academic medical center with a variety of rotation experiences, but the biggest reason I chose WVUH is the people. Everyone is always willing to help and go the extra mile to do anything they can for you. The support we receive as residents is something I will always be grateful for. I also love being able to serve the community that I grew up in and work in an environment that is so pharmacy-friendly.
