Jessica "Jessie" Willey, Pharm.D., 2024-2025 PGY1 Resident
Jessie Willey is from Morehead City, NC and received her Doctorate of Pharmacy
from the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy. She
previously worked as a pharmacy intern here at CHC for the past two years
and is excited to start a new role! Jessie wanted to continue her education
through the PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency at Carteret Health Care as she admires
the breadth of clinical skills each pharmacist at CHC possesses and enjoys
the close-knit atmosphere of the staff. Jessie's current professional
interests are broad and she hopes to find more about the various opportunities
for pharmacists during her residency year, but is most excited for her
Emergency Medicine and Oncology rotations. In her free time, Jessie is
almost always outside either running, surfing, golfing, fishing, or reading.
