Pharmacy Residency
in Ambulatory Care
|
|
The Department of Pharmaceutical Care at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics offers an American Society of Health-System Pharmacists accredited residency in Ambulatory Care. This is a 2 year program combining a Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY-1) Pharmacy Practice Residency with Emphasis in Ambulatory Care with a PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Specialized Residency. A one year PGY-2 option also exists for those candidates with a prior PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice Residency. Emphasis is placed on patient focused care and the development of skills necessary to become a competent clinician. The focus will be in providing various ambulatory care services offered to patients in the primary care clinics of General Internal Medicine and Family Medicine. However, rotations in other specialty clinics are offered. Applicants for this residency must be eligible for licensure in the State of Iowa and must be graduates of an ACPE-accredited College of Pharmacy. An on-site interview is required.
This Ambulatory Care Residency provides residents with experience and training in delivering pharmaceutical care to patients at UIHC. During the 2-year residency, core rotations include Anticoagulation Case Management Service, General Internal Medicine Clinic, Pharmaceutical Case Management Service (PCM), Diabetes Management Clinic, Geriatrics Clinic, Long-Term Care and the Family Medicine Inpatient Service. In addition, the PGY-1 resident will complete rotations in Drug Information, Medication Use Evaluation (MUE), and Practice Management. Specialty clinic elective rotations include the following: Allergy/Immunology, Renal/Hypertension, Lipid, Pulmonary, Pediatric Allergy/Pulmonary, Pain Management, Virology, Complementary/Alternative Medicine and others. The amount of time spent in these areas may be tailored to resident interest. Additional required residency experiences include
Teaching: Residents will have ample opportunity to develop their teaching and presentation skills. All residents are appointed as adjunct faculty with the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy. Residents participate in precepting students during Introductory and Advanced Learning Experiences. Other teaching opportunities may include didactic lectures, serving as a discussion leader, teaching in the Clinical Professional Skills course, teaching in the Pharmacy Practice Laboratory series, and presenting to medicine, pharmacy, or nursing colleagues. Presentations given to professional organizations are also encouraged
Research: Research experience will involve the completion of at least one major clinical project. Selection of the resident project is a joint effort between the resident and the residency preceptors. The residency project is identified early in the year and a final report is required. The project will be presented at the Midwest Pharmacy Residency Conference both years. Publication in the medical literature is strongly encouraged.
Staffing: This component of the residency is to augment experience in pharmacy operations and drug distribution. Currently residents are assigned to work two weekends out of every six weeks, regardless of holidays, in one of the Ambulatory Care Pharmacies (ACP) at UIHC. There is compensatory time provided for staffing. Staffing requirements are subject to change.
