Without the experience and training I have gained through

my residency program, I would not be able to be doing the

things I do in my practice or serve the profession of

pharmacy. Judy Sommers Hanson, Clinical Pharmacist

The skills and perspectives that I have gained cannot be

duplicated in any single practice site. Patrick E. Moss, Directorof PBM Operations

The residency encompassed a broad array of topics, and I

came out well prepared to take any type of job that interested

me. Renee Ahrens, Asst. Professor,Pharmacy Practice
