Stacy Gianakakos, Pharm.D.Current resident – Stacy Gianakakos, Pharm.D.

Previous education: Bachelor of Science at University of Illinois at Chicago and Pharm.D. from Midwestern University-Chicago.

Short bio: I grew up in Chicago (Go Bears!). I love Chicago, but Milwaukee is also on the top of my list of fun cities! In my spare time, I love spending time with my huge, loud Greek family and my amazing friends!

What factors did you consider most important when choosing a residency? When choosing residency programs, there were many factors that I considered. To begin with, I looked for programs with rotations in all of my areas of interest. In addition, I wanted to be a part of an established program with a large residency class. Lastly, I looked for programs in which I thought my personality would fit in with the others.

Why Aurora? I chose Aurora not only because of the variety of rotations available, but also because of the people. Everyone is very supportive and excited to teach. In addition, I knew that I would get a unique experience because of the ability to rotate through a large hospital system.

Current rotations:

  • Geriatrics/Parkinson's Disease
  • Adult Medicine
  • Cardiothoracis Transplant
  • Critical Care
  • Drug Policy
  • Medical ICU
  • Administration
  • Gen Med
  • Cardiology
  • Epilepsy/Neurology

Year-long project: Optimization of unit base cabinet inventory and controlled substances accountability through utilization of reporting tools

Future plans: I am considering a PGY-2 in either critical care or transplant.
