Program Overview
The purpose of this program is to prepare pharmacy students for post-graduate year one (PGY1) residency training in an acute care setting. Students will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience during various inpatient clinical rotations. Specific program goals include fostering clinical skills and knowledge; improving written and verbal communication skills; developing problem-solving, research and leadership skills; and demonstrating professionalism as an integral member of the healthcare team. Students will learn how to implement evidence-based drug therapy plans customized to the needs of the individual patient under the supervision of the clinical pharmacy specialist and/or PGY1 pharmacy resident.
Program Attributes
The program consists of six individual month long rotation experiences on site at Self Regional Healthcare. Students will use the Supplemental Application to rank their preferences. Please note, the rotations may not be scheduled consecutively and will be selected to meet the needs of the program as well as the individual’s pharmacy school curriculum. Students are expected to successfully complete all rotations with a B or higher as well as the experiences listed below:
- Patient case presentations (a minimum of one presentation for each clinical rotation)
- Quality improvement project (one longitudinal project completed in collaboration with preceptors, residents, and/or other students)
- Journal club presentations (a minimum of one presentation for each clinical rotation)
- Successful shadowing and understanding of the inpatient pharmacy operations
- Participation in one large audience presentation to mimic a “continuing education” presentation
