The Residency Experience
The residency experience is a structured, yet flexible, program providing training in all areas of a modern hospital pharmacy operation. It integrates clinical, administrative and distributive functions to assist the resident in developing the skills necessary to become pharmaceutical care professionals. Experiences can be tailored to fit the resident’s specific goals. The scope of clinical services includes antithrombotic therapy, antimicrobial management, pharmacokinetic dosing, renal dosing, electrolyte management, total parenteral nutrition, pain management, insulin management and IV to PO. In addition, residents complete a research project suitable for presentation at the Western States Conference, as well as gain distributive skills (i.e., staffing) through hands-on participation in the medication-use process.
