Amoreena Most, a 2021 graduate of Ferris State University’s Doctor of Pharmacy program, was honored by the Southeastern Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists as the 2022-23 Resident of the Year for her contributions during residency training at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.

Most, PharmD, BCCCP, completed a PGY-1 pharmacy residency and PGY-2 critical care pharmacy residency at the University of Michigan and is currently completing a two-year critical care pharmacy fellowship at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy.

Most is honored to receive the 2022-23 Resident of the Year award, which was accepted by her parents owing to her assignment in Augusta, Georgia.

“I am grateful for the nomination from the University of Michigan pharmacy residency program, and I am honored to have been selected by the society for this award,” Most said. “The nomination and selection process included many elements. A few highlights include serving as PGY2 chief resident and presenting research on heparin dosing during targeted temperature management at the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s 2023 Congress in San Francisco.” 

Most said a spark for her interest in critical care pharmacy came while she was a student at Ferris State.

“A lecture I attended during my third year of pharmacy school catalyzed my interest in pursuing post-graduate training in the field of critical care,” Most said. “A career in academia has been and remains my long-term goal. However, I wanted first to develop my abilities to practice as a clinical pharmacist.”

Most said she furthered her clinical skills in critical care pharmacy during my residency training at the University of Michigan. She is now focusing on developing her clinical translational research skills to improve care for critically ill patients by completing a fellowship at the University of Georgia. 

“These opportunities have built on my interests in critical care pharmacy and academia, which began thanks to the Pharmacy faculty at Ferris,” she said. 

Most is the daughter of Robert Most, associate professor in the School of Engineering and Computing Technology at Ferris State’s College of Engineering Technology.
