- Why Temple: I chose to continue my post-graduate training at Temple because of the various inpatient and outpatient experiences the program offers that provide the opportunity for me to strengthen my skills in a variety of patient care settings. The non-consecutive 10-week rotations also give residents the opportunity to repeat core experiences in the second half of the year and establish a fully independent practice. Lastly, the most important factor for me when selecting a PGY2 program was the supportiveness of its preceptors. After meeting the SOT clinical pharmacy specialist team at Temple, I felt confident that I would be fully supported by preceptors who are able to guide me as both a learner and as a new practitioner in the transplant pharmacy community.
