During my PGY1 Pharmacy Residency at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, I had the opportunity to complete a Population Health learning experience. I had an incredibly positive experience working with the team and knew this was an area where I wanted to continue my pharmacy training. I was inspired by the Population Health team's commitment to leveraging innovative pharmacy services and data-driving solutions to improve patient care on a broader scale. Their passion for advancing patient-centered care, combined with a collaborative and supportive culture, solidified my desire to pursue this specialty. What sets this program apart is not only the diverse learning opportunities and unique experiences available to residents, but also the strong mentorship and genuine investment in resident growth and well-being. Since joining the program, I have consistently felt supported by my RPD, preceptors, and colleagues, who encourage me to pursue my individual goals while challenging me to grow both professionally and personally. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my training as a PGY2 Population Health Management and Data Analytics Pharmacy Resident and look forward to the experiences and opportunities that this year will bring.
