Pharmacy Year 1 Residency

• Required Patient Care Training is completed prior to the start of the weekend Patient Care Staffing component.
• Required Internal Medicine (Acute) is completed prior to elective acute track rotations or per preceptor discretion (e.g., Pediatrics or ID elective may be permitted prior to IM acute if approved by RAC).
• Required Internal Medicine (Ambulatory) is completed prior to elective ambulatory track rotations or per preceptor discretion if approved by RAC.
• Required Drug Information rotation is completed in the first 4 months of residency.
• Acute track residents may complete 0-1 ambulatory track electives.
• Ambulatory track residents may complete 0-1 acute track electives.
• Direct patient care electives that take place in an area that does not have a full time pharmacist (e.g., Dermatology) will be scheduled when evaluations conducted at the end of previous learning experiences reflect readiness to practice independently (usually in second half of academic year between January and June), the RPD and preceptors agree the resident is ready for independent practice, and the main role of the preceptor is to facilitate resident learning experiences. A non-pharmacist preceptor and a pharmacist preceptor will be assigned for these learning experiences.
• Residents should select their electives by August. Residents are allowed to request a max of 2 elective rotation changes per academic year, which must be submitted by January 1.
• Resident may choose up to 4 weeks of non-direct patient care elective (e.g., Medication Use Safety and Policy).
• Other rotation sequencing requests will be reviewed by the Residency Advisory Committee (e.g., residents seeking a PGY2 and wanting to complete select electives earlier in the academic year).
