Why WVU Medicine: I chose WVU Medicine for its exceptional learning opportunities within an academic medical center and its culture of collaboration. Pursuing a field in pharmacy oncology, I knew this program would challenge me to think critically, expand my clinical knowledge, and refine my skills to provide optimal patient care.
