Chad SmithCurrent resident – Chad Smith, Pharm.D., M.B.A.

Previous education: M.B.A. Creighton University, Pharm.D. Creighton University

Short bio: I spent most of my life in Wisconsin before graduate school, and I’m happy to be back here in Milwaukee. I enjoy spending my free time staying active and enjoying time with my wife and family. I golf, read, and try to go to as many Brewers games as humanly possible.

What factors did you consider most important when choosing a residency? I wanted a residency program that offered clinical rotations taught by specialists. It was important to me that the people I would be spending time with could really teach me a lot of important skills. I also wanted a program that offered a wide variety of rotations. Having an interest in administration, I wanted to find a program that could continue into a second year if I chose.

Why Aurora? The program at Aurora offered all the clinical aspects I was looking for in a residency. I wanted to do a PGY2 specialty in Health Systems Administration and Aurora’s size offers me plenty of opportunities. From day one the staff at Aurora has been so welcoming and I have always felt very comfortable here.

Current rotations:

  • Infectious Disease
  • Adult Medicine
  • Cardiology
  • MICU
  • Joint Commission Preparation
  • Adult Medicine
  • Administration
  • Drug Policy
  • Critical Care
  • Family Practice
  • Operating Room

Year-long project: “Exploring the feasibility of injectable products being prepared by and distributed from the packaging center”

Future plans: I hope to spend several years in a clinical role before exploring a position in leadership within a large health care system.
