Longitudinal experiences
Drug information, pharmacy practice management, leadership, teaching and learning certificate program and research are taught and evaluated throughout the course of the year. Each resident attends and presents at the UTMC Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee and gains experience developing a new drug monograph, conducting a medication class review, and a medication use evaluation.
Each resident also participates in an ambulatory or community care clinic one-half day each week over the entire year. Clinic opportunities include anticoagulation, oncology, HIV, specialty, transplant, and transitions of care.
Teaching Opportunities
Residents take an active role in teaching pharmacy students in didactic and experiential training and active precepting of APPE students on clinical rotation at UTMC. In addition, opportunities exist to serve as teaching assistants for didactic courses at the College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences. A comprehensive teaching certificate program for residents is required within the University of Toledo College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Research Project
Each pharmacy resident completes at least one MUE or other smaller project along with a major research project. The major research project may be scientific-, practice-, or administrative-based research, but must demonstrate the value of clinical pharmacy services. Project is presented at the Vizient resident poster session prior to the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting, Fall OCCP meeting and Ohio Pharmacy Resident Conference. Publication is expected.
