Through this health care system residency approach, residents will obtain pharmacy experience in multiple diverse patient care settings. Unique and distinctive training may include emergency medicine, transitions of care, critical care, NICU, infectious disease, oncology, trauma, safe medication practice, solid organ transplant, psychiatry and specialty pharmacy.
