Why I chose The University of Kansas Health System, St. Francis Campus: I spent a one-month rotation at the St. Francis Campus, and during that time I experienced genuine kindness from staff in and out of the pharmacy. I specifically enjoyed the environment the pharmacists fostered, which allowed for open dialogue, feedback, and continuous development. I learned so much in that one month that I was finally inspired to pursue a pharmacy residency—so naturally the St. Francis Campus was my top choice.
