Residents may select 3 elective rotations based on their interests and specific career goals. Each resident will meet quarterly with the residency program director to discuss the resident's individual goals and may tailor their schedule to meet such goals as well as maximize the resident's opportunities for learning experiences. The resident will also complete a project during the year and have the opportunity to submit their results for publication.
There is also a required staffing component. Residents will be scheduled a shift once a week Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. Additionally, residents will work approximately every fourth weekend to fulfill the staffing requirements of the program. Upon completion of the program, trainees are awarded an American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited residency certificate.
