Kelsey Brebberman, PharmD, PGY2 Cardiology Resident

Hometown: Maumee, Ohio
Pharmacy School: Ohio Northern University
PGY1 Residency: The Christ Hospital
Interests: I enjoy staying active (usually by swimming, gym workouts, and outdoor activities), visiting local breweries, and country music. I also love trying new brunch places, anything chocolate, and *attempting* to cook fun new recipes! More recently, my love for craft beer has resulted in some friends and I home-brewing some of our own which has been really fun.
Why TCH? Having completed my PGY1 residency at Christ, I knew that the learning environment provided by this institution and its residency programs was one that would undoubtedly foster my success as a clinician. Between the amazing preceptors, advanced level of cardiac services provided, and community teaching environment, The Christ Hospital is the perfect place to continue my training as I pursue my dream of becoming a cardiology clinical pharmacy specialist.
Advice for PGY1 residents interested in pursuing a PGY2: If you have a passion for an area of pharmacy and are considering pursuing a PGY2, ask yourself if you can see yourself being motivated to use a second year to truly dig deep into every detail of that specific area. If you’re like me and love everything cardiology, it will be easy to answer that question with a yes and step up to the challenge!
