Our residency program is incredibly lucky to have a program director as dedicated as Amy to the development of our pharmacy residents!

Amy Wojciechowski is the Director of the Pharmacy Residency Program and our Infection Prevention and Antimicrobial Stewardship Coordinator. Amy is on the frontlines of the virus, alongside Dr. Bajwa, making sure we have the best procedures in place and that our team gets the right training. She's someone who leads by example and always thinks about the health and safety of everyone who enters through our doors. Thank you Amy for your years of service to our hospital and our community.
