Why Geisinger?: The program drew me in because of how much variety it offered. I knew that it would expose me to a variety of different disease states to help me grow into a very well-rounded pharmacist. It was obvious to me that there was a lot of interdisciplinary collaboration between pharmacists and providers, which I really valued. During my interview with Geisinger, I felt like the environment was very supportive and uplifting, which has been evident throughout my time here so far.

Why Geisinger?: I chose Geisinger because pharmacists have a lot of autonomy and great rapport with the medical teams. I also enjoy that pharmacists play a huge role in the interdisciplinary team, and our recommendations are appreciated. One of my favorite aspects is being able to participate in teaching rounds because I learn something new every day.

Why Geisinger: Geisinger offers a dynamic and enriching learning environment, with exposure to a diverse patient population and a wide range of clinical areas that foster both personal and professional growth. The breadth of opportunities available allows residents to gain meaningful experience across multiple specialties. However, what truly set Geisinger apart for me was the culture of support and collaboration.

Their encouragement and willingness to teach made a lasting impression and played a key role in my decision to pursue residency here.
