During residency at the University of Washington in Seattle, Traci White, PharmD, spent a lot of time on rotations in the ICU as part of the team providing intensive care to critically ill patients. What struck her about this work, she said, was “You’re looking at paper, numbers, data, and graphs. You’re talking a lot about the patient— you’re discussing everything about that patient. But you have no idea who that patient really is.”
