Pharmacy

We’ve designed our Pharmacy Residency so that pharmacy residents and medical residents learn side by side. Residents also gain specialized, advanced knowledge in sub-specialty disciplines, such as through rotations in Critical Care and Cardiology.

Through the Lyman A. Brewer III MD Simulation Center, residents can practice all the necessary skills needed to pass their boards. Pharmacy residents can access the Simulation Center 24/7 to practice medical codes and other mock scenarios. Medical directors work directly with the Simulation Center to ensure that residents can practice any board-related simulation they need.

Pharmacy residents work in a medically underserved community—as a result, our patients often struggle with medication access. We work with the hospital to reach out to patients in need and ensure they have all the appropriate medication they need. Pharmacy residents also have opportunities to staff different clinical shifts and serve as preceptors to pharmacy students.

Residents are active participants in the improvement of our Residency Program. As part of leadership training, residents are involved in many decision-making processes and attend committee meetings such as the Sepsis Task Force, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Task Force, Glycemic Task Force and others. Our residents have coordinated several events, including accreditation survey preparation, residency showcases and open houses.

Academic success is important — but we understand that residents needs time to recharge. We have multiple well-being resources available to prevent burnout and promote residents’ wellness. Residents have access to counseling services through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), plus opportunities to attend well-being retreats and complimentary access to our fitness center.
