This PGY1 pharmacy practice residency program develops the pharmacotherapy skills that will prepare a clinical pharmacy practitioner (CPP) to provide medication management services in acute and/or ambulatory patient care settings. A 75 member CPP team supports resident rotations and longitudinal learning experiences such as internal medicine, primary care, critical care, inpatient and outpatient mental health, geriatrics, and anticoagulation. Residents will focus on disease state management, patient education, and oral/written communication within direct patient care experiences. Residents will have opportunities to participate in other areas such as P&T committee meetings, medication use evaluations, drug information, drug literature evaluation, and completion of a required management learning experience. A residency project will be designed and implemented with the assistance of preceptors and will be utilized to impact practices on the department and/or facility. This program is highly flexible and allows individual advancement based on interests, personal motivation, and ability, including the opportunity to co-precept PharmD students.
