Why did you choose Michigan's residency program? I chose to come up and brave the cold in Michigan because of the amazing variety of experiences the program offered! I'm really passionate about research and teaching, so I was drawn to the great opportunities for research projects and the College of Pharmacy teaching requirements here. There were also several pharmacists at my pharmacy school who spoke highly of the mentorship that preceptors provide here at Michigan.
