Why should prospective pharmacy residents consider Methodist Hospital for their PGY1 residency?
Prospective pharmacy residents should consider Methodist Hospital for their PGY1 residency because they will have an opportunity to become part of a unique, collegial, hard-working and fun-loving community of health-care professionals. Our hospital feels like a small community campus despite our actual size and location in the Twin Cities. The collaboration and teamwork between the pharmacists, nurses, and clinicians at Methodist Hospital is very rewarding; which fosters an environment of excellent patient care!
– Becky Roemer, PharmD, BCPS, Creekside Medical Rounding Service preceptor
Prospective pharmacy residents should consider Methodist Hospital for their PGY1 residency because of the wide variety of high-quality experiences it offers, which can be tailored to specific individual interests.
– Angela Carpenter, PharmD, BCPS, Hospice preceptor
Pharmacy residents are welcomed by our whole department. We provide a supportive environment for the resident to become a confident, well-rounded, competent pharmacist.
– Abby Von Ruden, PharmD, BCPS, Inpatient Pharmacy Supervisor and Orientation preceptor
Residency at Methodist Hospital provides a very well rounded, diverse set of rounding experiences. Each resident is able to make the year their own by molding their schedule in order to explore/confirm any interests they may have early in the year to ensure they are ready for next steps (e.g. PGY2). All of our preceptors are dedicated experts in their area that truly care about each resident’s development.
