Abbie Blunier, PharmD, is originally from Robinson, Illinois. She received her Doctor of Pharmacy from Purdue University College of Pharmacy in West Lafayette, Indiana. During pharmacy school, she was involved in Indiana Pharmacists Association, Rho Chi, and Purdue Pharmacy Ambassadors.
She chose to pursue residency at Prisma Health because of the preceptors’ dedication to the pharmacy profession and resident development, the variety of rotation experiences, and the unique opportunities offered, such as penicillin skin testing.
In her free time, she enjoys going for walks with her dog, listening to podcasts or reading a book, and watching college basketball.
