How did you decide to apply for this particular type of pharmacy residency training?

"I'm applying for a managed care residency here because I am interested in making a difference at a broad level. Watching my uncle struggle to pay his bills and afford his insulin has really instilled a passion for helping people get their medicine affordably. I know my uncle isn't the only one, and I am really excited to have the opportunity to help a larger group of patients. I know affordability is a huge barrier for patients managing their diseases. I believe this residency will help me continue learning more about career paths within managed care and provide me opportunities to learn and grow."
