Champion Kaitlyn PharmDKaitlyn Champion, PharmD

College: University of Florida

Personal Statement: I grew up in Stuart, Florida and received my PharmD from University of Florida. During residency, I hope to explore my interests in pediatrics through the NICU rotations and expand my knowledge on academia, oncology and critical care. Following completion of residency, I intend to pursue a second-year residency and eventually practice as a clinical pharmacy specialist in a pediatric specialty. My personal interests include exercising, spending time with my friends and family, and exploring the new city.
