Scholarship
Residents will complete a longitudinal research project in addition to a medication use evaluation during the residency year. Projects are designed to address focused questions relevant to pharmacy informatics, medication use, clinical practice, health-system operations, or technology-enabled care and to produce results suitable for presentation and publication. The resident will receive at least four cumulative weeks of dedicated research time throughout the 52-week residency year.
Practice Management
Residents will collaborate with information services leadership, pharmacy leaders and other operational stakeholders on initiatives that support departmental and health-system priorities. Through these experiences, residents will develop skills in project management, strategic planning, resource prioritization, stakeholder engagement, change management and informatics governance.
Residents will also fulfill pharmacy staffing responsibilities based on departmental needs, averaging one eight-hour shift per week. During the second half of the residency year, residents will also be added to the on-call rotation of the pharmacy applications team.
Effective Education
The resident will complete two journal clubs, a continuing education presentation, a preceptor development presentation, an interdisciplinary group presentation and a presentation of the resident’s research at the Southeastern Residency Conference.
Teaching responsibilities will include participation in layered learning with pharmacy students on rotation and serving as the primary preceptor for a fourth-year pharmacy student during the second half of the residency year. The resident will also have the opportunity to deliver a didactic lecture to second-year pharmacy students as part of a required pharmacy informatics course offered in the fall.
Residents who did not complete a teaching certificate during their PGY1 year may elect to participate in the teaching certificate program offered through Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences.
