WAUSAU, WI (OnFocus) – Four Aspirus pharmacy residents took the next step in their careers when they graduated from the Aspirus Pharmacy Residency Program June 22.
The group of residents spent the past year participating in a broad range of clinical experiences with a focus on inpatient acute care, drug information, and pharmacy practice management.
“They’ve experienced a lot and had a great opportunity to learn during a very challenging moment in time,” says Aspirus System Pharmacy Director Jill Michaud.
Their work helped advance their future careers as well as the pharmacy department throughout the Aspirus system through their year-long projects.
