Aaron H. Ritter

  • School of Pharmacy: University of Florida College of Pharmacy
  • Clinical Interests: I am eager to pursue a PGY-2 residency in hematology and oncology, with a particular interest in malignant hematology, BMT, and solid tumors such as thoracic, GI, and gynecological. These are among my favorite areas to manage due to their complexity and impact, and I am especially drawn to this patient population because of their strong motivation to get better. Hematology and oncology are fields where the pharmacist has an infinite number of opportunities to intervene and improve a patient's quality of life.
