ur 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.
