Elizabeth Fernandez, PharmDUndergraduate Institution: University of Florida Pharmacy School: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Clinical Interests: Pediatrics/Oncology/Critical Care Research Project: Ertapenem vs. Ceftriaxone plus Metronidazole for Perforated Appendicitis in Children Why CMC: My priorities when evaluating residency programs included having a wide variety of clinical rotations, opportunities for precepting and collaborating with different multidisciplinary teams. I will be given the opportunity to complete rotations in multiple pediatric, oncology and critical care settings which will help me grow in my strongest areas of interests. In addition, other rotations offered will help build a broad clinical knowledge which will help me become well-rounded pharmacist. I am impressed by the preceptor’s dedication to resident’s learning, success, and emphasis on work-life balance. I have a mentor for the year that will be part of my overall growth and dedicated mentors for each of my longitudinal projects. I am excited about the teaching curriculum program as I will learn how to precept multiple students. I have lived in Florida my whole life and I was eager to experience life in a new city. My transition to Charlotte has been great so far, especially having amazing co-residents’ as part of my adventure. |

Sandy Lui, PharmDUndergraduate Institution: University of Utah Pharmacy School: University of Utah College of Pharmacy Clinical Interests: Toxicology, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Oncology Research Project: Direct Oral Anticoagulants vs Warfarin for treatment of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia Why CMC?: During my search in PGY1 pharmacy residency programs, I knew I wanted to complete my training at a large academic medical center that not only offered a wide variety of rotation experiences (such as a toxicology rotation), but also promotes research and academia. Carolinas Medical Center impressed me with how well pharmacy is integrated into the interprofessional healthcare teams. Additionally, being a part of a program that fosters a team/ family dynamic was important to me and Carolinas Medical Center’s supportive culture has exceeded my expectations. Between the mentorship program and having 5 other co-residents, I always have someone to go to. I look forward to the opportunities this year will bring, and Charlotte is such a fun city and has endless activities to offer! |

Carly Speight, PharmDUndergraduate Institution: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Research Project: Impact of ID Consult in Patients with Candidemia at a Large Multi-site Healthcare System Providing Telemedicine Services Why CMC?: I was initially drawn to the PGY1 residency program at CMC for their progressive pharmacy practice model, but it was the people I met along the way who influenced my decision to pursue my training here. I knew that the breadth of clinical rotations offered at CMC combined with the strong research and leadership aspects of the program would shape me into a well-rounded pharmacist. Not only does CMC focus on developing their residents into integral members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team, but they also encourage development of your own precepting style through a layered learning model and teaching certificate program. Lastly, living in Charlotte is an added bonus because there is always something to do or a new restaurant to try! |
