"On my first day of residency, I would first introduce myself to the fellow residents. We are all embarking on the same journey together, and I hope to develop community and comradery within our resident class. One thing that's unique about this program here at St. Jude's Hospital is the large resident cohort, and I think that will be really beneficial in my experience and learning. Secondly, I would want to introduce myself or say hello to the pharmacists in the building. While not everyone is involved in the residency program, I know I'll be working with them, so I want to make sure I meet as many people as I can in order to have a more seamless transition and first week. Lastly, I think I'd observe. I imagine there will be meetings that day, and depending on where my first rotation is, I'll want to see how things are done, where I can fit in, and what I can do. I imagine I'll want to do a lot more, but right now, I think these will benefit me the most on my first day."
