Four Aspirus
pharmacy residents took the next step in their careers when they graduated from
the Aspirus Pharmacy Residency Program June 22.
The group of
residents spent the past year participating in a broad range of clinical
experiences with a focus on inpatient acute care, drug information, and
pharmacy practice management.
“They’ve experienced
a lot and had a great opportunity to learn during a very challenging moment in
time,” says Aspirus System Pharmacy Director Jill Michaud.
Their work helped
advance their future careers as well as the pharmacy department throughout the
Aspirus system through their year-long projects.
