William Beaumont University Hospital is a 1100-bed Level I Adult and Level II Pediatric trauma, academic medical center and recognized by US News and World Report as one of "America's Best Hospitals" for the 27th consecutive year.

The Department of Pharmaceutical Services utilizes an integrative practice model where pharmacists have responsibilities for both distributive and clinical functions. Distributive services are provided through a centralized model, with satellites in critical areas (pediatrics, oncology, operating rooms, and emergency center). Pharmacy operations are supported by technology including Omnicell automated dispensing cabinets. The medical record is supported by Epic oneChart, with implemented electronic Medication Administration Record and Barcode Medication Administration functionality.

A variety of clinical services are offered, including pharmacokinetic dosing, anticoagulation monitoring, antimicrobial stewardship, renal dose adjustments, IV to PO conversions, and participation in multidisciplinary patient care rounds and huddles. Our institution employs over 25 clinical preceptors, the majority of whom hold adjunct faculty appointments with neighboring Colleges of Pharmacy and/or the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine.

The PGY2 residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and post graduate year 1 (PGY1) pharmacy residency training to the development of pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 pharmacy residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions and board certification in the advanced practice area.
