Why UR Medicine? I knew from my first experiences with the team at Highland that it was the perfect place for me to learn and grow as a new pharmacist, due to the highly supportive environment and dedicated preceptors. Highland Hospital has a wide variety of learning experiences, with additional opportunities for electives at Strong Memorial Hospital. I enjoy the many opportunities for precepting and teaching as well.

Highland Hospital also provided me with the ability to complete a variety of rotations in my primary clinical area of interest-infectious disease.
