Why Should you choose SickKids? Top 10 Reasons
Reason #10 There’s TWO of us! • You’re never alone • You can bounce ideas off each other • Teamwork • You can learn from each other
Reason #9 Office Space! • You have your own dedicated computer (that works at a decent speed!) • Quiet space to work • You’re not fighting over computers • Your own phone line (so that people can reach you)
Reason #8 Everyday is FUN! • Great working environment • Welcome Tea • Summer BBQ • New experiences everyday • You get to see the weird and wonderful stuff (it’s SickKids!)
Reason #7 Conferences! • You get to choose one out-of-town conference (e.g. ACCP, PPAG, ICCAC) • CSHP – PPC • HPRFO – Resident’s Conference • SickKids – Paediatrics for Pharmacy Professionals Conference
Reason #6 Teaching & Mentoring • Teaching at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy (3rd year paediatrics elective course) • Teaching seminars • UT/Waterloo Pharmacy students
Reason #5 Electives, Electives and MORE! • ASP/Infectious Diseases • Haeme/Onc • Bone Marrow Transplant • Multi-Organ Transplant • NICU • ICU • Cardiology • Surgery • Nephrology • Neurology

Why do a post-PharmD residency? • More paediatric experience • Discover your passion • Get involved in your institution • Focus on practical application • Improve your critical thinking skills • Become efficient • Dedicated learning time • There’s always more to learn
Will I have a life outside residency? YES!!! • 10 days of vacation • There’s two of you • It’s all about balance
