"Since the first day I stepped onto St. Luke's Hospital grounds I've been greeted and welcomed with open arms to an institution where the mentors and peers alongside me put my growth and development as a future clinician to the top of the priority list. Being new to St. Louis (and Missouri), the pharmacy family and St. Luke's, has made the transition easier than I could have ever imagined by offering aid and resources to help me settle in smoothly. St. Luke's Hospital is nothing short of a reservoir of clinical challenges asking to be tackled as I am excited for the experiences ahead knowing I'm in good hands to help develop me into a proficient well-rounded clinical pharmacist."

"I love going to work every day because there are numerous opportunities to make a difference in patients' lives, which is incredibly rewarding. I love sitting with my patients, answering their questions, discussing their medication-related concerns, or anything else they may want to share-old memories, photos of grandchildren, etc.-you name it. St. Luke's gives me that chance to be present with and care for my patients, and that is so incredibly gratifying."

"I chose St. Luke's due to the close-knit preceptor group and the clear emphasis on their residents and their genuine interest in training their residents to be the best they can be. I also really enjoy the personal relationships that we develop throughout the year with other members of the team, and working with medical residents is a unique opportunity to grow alongside them and develop new relationships and skills that will translate into my professional career."

About St. Louis

St. Louis, Missouri, is a vibrant city with a rich history and a quirky charm that sets it apart from other Midwest destinations. Known as the Gateway to the West, this city boasts the iconic Gateway Arch, a stunning stainless-steel monument that symbolizes westward expansion in the United States. But beyond its famous arch, St. Louis has its fair share of offbeat attractions, like the City Museum, a whimsical wonderland of tunnels and slides crafted from salvaged materials. One delightful culinary quirk you'll find here is toasted ravioli, a local delicacy that's a must-try. These bite-sized pasta pockets, filled with meat or cheese, are breaded, and deep-fried to golden perfection, offering a delicious twist on traditional Italian fare. St. Louis's unique blend of history, culture, and culinary adventures makes it an exciting place to live and work, and St. Luke's Hospital in nearby Chesterfield is proud to be a part of this vibrant community, offering exceptional healthcare services to its residents.
