My name is Tuyet, and I am one of the PGY-1 pharmacy residents here at El Rio Health.

Being at El Rio allows me to achieve my career goal, being able to serve our vulnerable population while gaining invaluable pharmacy experiences in ambulatory care, community care and hospital pharmacy. I am grateful for this opportunity, and can’t wait to learn and grow into a compassionate, proficient pharmacist. Outside of pharmacy, my hobbies include working out, cooking to become America’s Next Masterchef, and attending live concerts and sporting events.
