I have completed my internship for the P5 winter semester at Mercy Health-St. Charles hospital in Ohio in March 2024. I plan on beginning my APPE rotations with ProMedica Fostoria in July 2024. After I graduate in 2025, I plan to work in a retail or compounding pharmacy for a few years and open a private pharmacy using my retail experience.

My rotation for Spring 2024 at Mercy Health St. Charles Hospital was beyond exceptional. I was interning at the ED department and I was able to put a lot of my current knowledge to use. It allows a student to use several different aspects of different modules covered during the professional years. For example, for one patient, I was able to apply my knowledge on antibiotics to appropriately treat a patient and on another patient, I had to use knowledge from the renal module to dose Vancomycin.
