The pharmacy residency program at the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System (VAEKHCS) is an ASHP accredited training program. It is located at the Colmery-O’Neil VA Medical Center in Topeka, KS and the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, KS.

This post-graduate year one residency program is designed to develop practitioners with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of a successful, well-rounded clinical pharmacist. Graduates of the program are well prepared to pursue positions in clinical practice, academia, or PGY-2 residency programs.

We offer a progressive training atmosphere where credentialed pharmacists may prescribe medications, order laboratory/diagnostic tests and place consults to other services within a scope of practice. Residents learn to provide proactive, patient-centered care in multiple different clinical settings.

While offering a well-rounded PGY1 training program, our program particularly provides graduating residents with strong experiences in ambulatory care (primary care and anticoagulation) and psychiatry where we have pharmacy providers who function autonomously under an advanced scope of practice!

Join us to serve those who have served, through advanced pharmaceutical care!
