The PGY-1/2 Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residency at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital is a 24-month residency with inpatient, outpatient, ambulatory care, leadership, teaching, and administrative experiences. The first year focuses on clinical exposure and the second year focuses on building clinical leadership, operations, and supervisory experience. There are clinical leadership and operational leadership opportunities during the second year of the program that allows flexibility in tailoring the program to the strengths and interests of the resident. The program also places emphasis on developing inclusive leadership skills and how to create a culture of belonging in the workplace. These experiences are coordinated under the direct and immediate supervision of the Pharmacy Chief who is the Residency Program Director. The primary mission of the residency is to develop leadership and clinical management skills that will support a professional and productive practice in pharmacy management, clinical leadership, business operations, medication use safety, and quality assurance. This mission is realized by providing experiences and responsibilities that develop and augment the resident’s clinical and communication skills, problem solving abilities, professional knowledge base, judgment, and insight by ensuring resident exposure in targeted clinical and administrative roles. By providing an atmosphere for the resident to grow and develop individual talents (while receiving guidance and structure as required), the resident will become more cognizant of their strengths and weaknesses, and will be able to continually apply themselves to further enhance their management and leadership practice skills.
The Residency enhances patient care by developing the knowledge and skills that are needed to achieve competency in the provision of pharmacy leadership and clinical management. Graduates of the program shall be able to develop, implement, monitor, and maintain operational and clinical pharmacy services, and shall be able to successfully apply the principles of strategic planning, personnel development, needs based communication, fiscal management, regulatory compliance, program development, evidence-based outcome assessment, and Pharmacoeconomics.
Applicants must be a graduate of an American Council of Pharmaceutical Education accredited School of Pharmacy with a Pharm.D. degree, must be a U.S. citizen, and participate in an on-site or virtual interview.
