Why Atrium Health Cabarrus? I was initially drawn to Atrium Health Cabarrus due to the diverse number of elective opportunities such as toxicology, pediatrics/special populations, and interdisciplinary patient care. Atrium being a progressive, fast-growing health system in a fast-growing city also helped solidify my interest. I enjoyed meeting the preceptors during my interview and could feel a strong sense of support – confirming that this is a great place to train and grow as an Emergency Medicine pharmacist.
