Please join us for a virtual information session to learn more about our program on Thursday, Dec. 15, from 4-5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Join UsThis specialized residency is designed to provide pharmacists with a solid foundation in ambulatory care across an integrated health system, and to build skills as a health care leader. Residents will be accountable for promoting a culture where the patient comes first, contributing to continuous improvement in quality and safety, and expanding clinical skills as a provider. Upon graduation, residents will be prepared to lead and transform health care, as well as advance the role of pharmacist providers in the ambulatory setting.
The pharmacy leadership experience is designed to provide educational and operational experience through involvement in the various routine department operations as well department growth strategies. The resident will participate in population health initiatives and quality improvement projects. Lean training and application will be incorporated throughout the year. Residents will learn about safety reporting systems, budget processes, billing for pharmacist clinical services, leading team meetings and more. This rotation will also offer opportunities for self-reflection and growth as a clinician and leader in the pharmacy community.
Each resident will complete a major quality improvement project. A project poster will be presented at the ASHP Midyear Meeting and project results will be presented at a regional pharmacy meeting. Residents will be asked to participate in various other quality improvement projects throughout the year.
Applicants must hold a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from an ACPE-accredited college and have completed, or in the process of completing, a PGY1 residency. They must be eligible for pharmacy licensure in Washington State.
