Our Pharmacy division of education, under the direction of Rex Force, encompasses a pharmacy residency program, an undergraduate program and a faculty lecture series.

• Residency

The pharmacy residency program takes two residents a year who work alongside the family practice residents in both the clinic and the inpatient setting, assist with researching appropriate medications and their use and interactions for both the clinic and the inpatient service. They contribute to didactic presentations and research up-to-date pharmacotherapeutic interventions for both faculty and residents. They provide a significant portion of the patient services through staffing the sample pharmacy, the anticoagulation clinic, blood pressure monitoring services and helping with the indigent medicine program and the HIV service. They are an invaluable resource to the Family Practice Residency program.

• Undergraduate

The pharmacy division has an active role in the teaching of undergraduate pharmacy students, both in the lecture hall and on the inpatient service and in the outpatient setting. The pharmacy resident supervises the undergraduate students on the inpatient service who follow the patients alongside the family practice residents, are fully familiar with the drugs prescribed to our patients, their interactions and dosages.

• PA

The pharmacy faculty undertakes to teach the PA program through a lecture series and provides invaluable pharmacotherapeutic teaching to the physician assistants.
