Why I chose Valley Medical Center?
 “I chose Valley Medical Center because I admire their mission of caring for the community like family. This aligned with what I was looking for in PGY1 programs because a positive work culture heavily impacts a caregiver’s commitment to patient care, but also a pharmacy resident’s professional and professional growth. In addition, their residency program offers a diverse selection of rotations that will provide me the strong foundational knowledge of being a well-rounded pharmacist.”
