 Current
resident – Andrew Kolinski, Pharm.D.
Previous education: Pharm.D. from the Chicago College of
Pharmacy at Midwestern University in Downers Grove, Illinois
Short bio: I was born and raised in the south suburbs of
Chicago. I became interested in a career in pharmacy during the latter
half of high school. After I graduated, I started working at an
independent community pharmacy and enjoyed it so much that I stayed
there until I graduated pharmacy school. Enjoying the complex and often
diverse patient population encountered in a hospital setting, I decided
to pursue a residency here at Aurora Health Care.
On my time off, I enjoy participating in any type of athletic activity.
I also value time spent with family and friends.
What factors did you consider most important when choosing a
residency? I felt Aurora Health Care would provide me with an
excellent all around experiential education, which included both
inpatient and ambulatory opportunities. I also found it important to be
part of a larger residency class for both social and academic reasons.
Why Aurora? I like that I am part of a larger residency class
here at Aurora Health Care. Also, being a health care system, Aurora is
able to offer rotations at more than one site, allowing me to experience
both academic and nonacademic medicine. In addition, Aurora offers a
program with both inpatient pharmacy experience and ambulatory care
experience.
Current rotations:
- Cardiology
- MICU
- Infectious Disease
- Family Practice
- Adult Medicine
- Administration
- Drug Policy
- Critical Care
- Psychiatric/Hospice
- General Medicine
- NICU
Year-long project: "Assessment and implementation of Verifynow
test results as a means for the reduction of the use of blood and
non-blood products in the OR setting”
Future plans: While I have many interests, I am currently
thinking that I would like to work in the ICU setting after residency
