A little about myself:
I am originally from a small town in Wisconsin called Cadott. I really enjoy both watching and participating in sports, especially volleyball and basketball. I also like spending time outdoors riding horse, waterskiing, and snowmobiling.
Why did I choose to do a residency?
I chose to do an administration residency because I really wanted to gain formalized health system leadership experience. With a projected gap in pharmacy leadership, I thought this would be an outstanding opportunity in my career development.
Why did I choose Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital?
I was originally drawn to Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital (MSJH) because I wanted to gain my residency experience at a regional trauma center that had the additional benefits of being a teaching hospital. After completing my first year of residency at MSJH, I knew I wanted to pursue the second year administration residency program because of the strong, talented leadership team I would be surrounded by on a daily basis. I was confident that the program at MSJH would provide the learning opportunities to become a confident and effective leader in pharmacy.
What rotations will I be doing?
I will be doing rotations in medication safety, supply chain, leadership, finance, clinical management, information technology, quality and regulatory, along with additional clinical electives. I will have the opportunity to become Lean Six Sigma trained and lead a Lean Six Sigma project. I will also be staffing every third weekend in the emergency department.
Future plans/interests:
I hope to gain a position as a clinical staff pharmacist in the immediate future while staying actively involved in leadership through local and national organizations. In five to ten years my goal is to move into a formal leadership position within a hospital/health system.
