Megan Mizusawa, PharmD, is a PGY2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Resident at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. HOMETOWN: Coral Springs, FL EDUCATION: University of Florida College of Pharmacy


(Gainesville, FL) PGY1 (FOR PGY2S ONLY):  VA San Diego Healthcare System (San Diego, CA) RESEARCH/QI: Retrospective study of neuropsychiatric hospitalizations in patients receiving


montelukast vs. loratadine for allergic rhinitis in a Veterans Affairs population. WHY VA HOUSTON: Coming from a VA PGY-1, I was able to witness the impact and involvement of pharmacy,


especially in mental health services. I knew that continuing at a VA, I would feel empowered as a psychiatric pharmacist.  VA Houston’s program provided an even mix of inpatient/outpatient


rotations, unique electives (adolescent & young adult), and multiple didactic/experiential teaching opportunities. However, what really solidified my interest in the program was my RPD.


From my interview and testimonies from others, I knew Dr. Dike would be an amazing RPD, showing genuine interest in the resident and fostering their growth.
