Caroline Joncas, PharmD

Research Project: Justification of a specialty pharmacy discharge medication reconciliation program: a descriptive study
First Position after Residency: Oncology Pharmacist, Cape Fear Valley Health Fayetteville, NC

I chose Cape Fear Valley for its diverse rotation options, supportive environment, and flexibility which allowed me to adapt my training to match my evolving goals. Throughout the year, I found immense value in the belief that, “It doesn’t matter where you start the year; it matters how you end it.”

My favorite experience was my time spent in the cancer center, where I was able to deepen my knowledge and solidify my career direction. I encourage incoming residents to lean on their co-residents and foster collaboration over competition.

Research Project: Impact of oral antibiotics on length of stay in patients with gram negative rod bacteremia
First Position after Residency: PGY2 Internal Medicine, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Fayetteville, NC

I chose CFV for its genuine family atmosphere where I felt valued not just as a resident, but as a person. The supportive environment made all the difference in my growth. One of the most valuable lessons I learned was the importance of embracing the fact that I’m still a learner and it’s okay not to have all the answers. 

My favorite experience was the PACU rotation, where I was able to dive into the perioperative setting, something I hadn’t explored much in school, and gained a lot of new knowledge. For new residents, my advice is don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. This year is your opportunity to learn as much as you can and grow both professionally and personally.

Morgan Carhart, PharmD

Research Project: Comparison of analgesia following coronary bypass grafting with the use of scheduled acetaminophen
First Position after Residency: PGY2 Internal Medicine, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Fayetteville, NC

I chose Cape Fear Valley because of the wide variety of rotations offered and the program’s strong emphasis on internal medicine. The opportunity to teach through Campbell University was also a major draw, allowing me to develop both clinically and academically. One of the most valuable lessons I learned during residency was the importance of self-care, making time for myself was essential to being able to care for others effectively. My favorite part of the experience was the strong sense of community that formed among co-residents, whether we were tackling challenges together or sharing laughs while building our “meme wall.” If I had one piece of advice for incoming residents, it would be to start projects early, especially the continuing education (CE) presentation, and never be afraid to ask for help. It's okay to not know everything; learning and growing are what residency is all about.

Olivia Hill, PharmD

Research Project: Oral vancomycin versus fidaxomicin for treatment of Clostridiodes difficile infection
First Position after Residency: PGY2 Emergency medicine, University Health, San Antonio, TX

I chose CFV because of the family atmosphere and the caring environment fostered by both the staff and residents. The personal and professional growth seen in previous residents was a major factor in my decision. One of the most valuable things I’ve learned during my time here is the importance of having a strong support system, including co-residents and preceptors, who you can rely on for advice and guidance.

My favorite experiences were during the ED and critical care rotations, where I was able to grow in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. My advice for new residents is simple: It’s okay to be wrong the first time; we are all learning, and it’s the ability to improve and get it right on your second try that really counts.
