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.
