Bridging the gap between education and practice, pharmacy residencies are crucial to pharmacists wishing to improve their skillsets and patient care. To simplify and help students navigate the application process, Kristen Ingold, PharmD '21, created informative videos filled with wisdom and best-practice advice. “Pharmacy residencies are highly sought by new graduates,” said Ingold. “Interested individuals competing for limited residency positions want to better their skills as a practicing pharmacist and improve patient care. Providing a new, valuable video resource to these individuals will help prepare and educate those who are interested in pursuing a pharmacy residency.” Ingold’s videos feature virtual interviews with residency program directors (RPDs) nationwide on numerous topics. Reflecting differences in RPDs across the nation, video topics are available for the western, southwestern, midwestern and eastern regions of the U.S. Read more about Ingold's video project.

The School of Pharmacy presented 74 students, comprising its Class of 2025, with their professional white coats during the 17th White Coat Ceremony in September. The white coats symbolically represent the Class of 2025’s transition from students to student pharmacists. A symbol of professionalism, the white coat represents the student pharmacists’ commitment to excellence in providing quality and compassionate patient care. “To each patient, your contributions may very well be the difference between a poor outcome and their well-being," he said. "Life is precious. Take pride in your work, and do not lose sight of the importance of your efforts.” |
