Why MRHC: “I chose Magnolia Regional Health Center as my pharmacy residency site because of the supportive network of pharmacists I encountered during my pharmacy residency interview and because of the small town community to which it provides medical services. I truly enjoy getting to see the impact that pharmacists get to make in the lives of its community members. Magnolia Regional Health Center offers a variety of pharmacy rotations with exceptional clinical pharmacists and physicians of different specialties. I believe that completion of these rotations, as well as the other components of this pharmacy residency, will help me to excel in all future aspects as a clinical pharmacist.”
