Pharmacy Department Mission
We strive to be experts in pharmaceutical care in order to provide compassionate, understandable, and financially responsible medication therapy in collaboration with patients and their healthcare team.
Program Description
Our post-graduate year one (PGY1) pharmacy residency is a twelve month, clinical and administrative program that aligns with the core requirements set forth by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). Our encompasses acute patient care, foundational practice skills, and proficient practice management that builds on a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education. Our program accepts two (2) residents each year.
Within our PGY1 residency, residents will experience the advantages of our unique training program, which capitalizes on a diverse range of rotations and educational opportunities spanning both acute and ambulatory care environments. All aspects of your pharmacy practice education will be grounded in our patient-centric commitment to delivering compassionate care.
Our residency program is thoughtfully crafted to offer a comprehensive overview of institutional pharmacy practice while being adaptable to the specific needs of each resident. Graduates will be well-prepared to provide advanced pharmaceutical care services across a broad spectrum of patients in a variety of practice settings.
Program Strengths
The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program at 91视频 is strong because of our Team. Our pharmacy department (preceptors and staff alike) is highly engaged and invested in the success of our residents. We take pride in watching our residents grow and succeed and are dedicated to giving them the support and feedback necessary to do so.
The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program at 91视频 is feedback friendly. While we give residents feedback throughout the year, we also ask that our residents provide us with feedback. We are constantly growing and consider all resident feedback when adjusting our residency program. Because of this, our program is customizable to residents’ interests and learning needs.
Pharmacy residents have the unique opportunity to participate in multidisciplinary education with the medical residents and faculty of 91视频’s Family Medicine Residency, as well as with physicians completing a behavioral health fellowship at our facility. Residents will work closely with medical providers as well as with various members of the healthcare team working towards the goal of providing exceptional care to our patients.
At 91视频, we see the importance of precepting for the growth and development of the pharmacy profession. Our preceptors and staff take a genuine interest in our learners and see it was a rewarding professional responsibility, for which we have been recognized by the Idaho State College of Pharmacy as the 2023 Precepting Site of the Year.
Residents will have the opportunity to serve as preceptors and mentors to IPPE and APPE student pharmacists and will participate in an advanced teaching certificate course offered through the Washington State University College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Additional teaching experiences are also available through Washington State University and Idaho State University.
Upon completion of the program, residents will be prepared to serve as clinical/staff pharmacists, preceptors, adjunct clinical faculty, or pursue a PGY2 pharmacy residency.
Our location is another advantage of our program. As a regional medical referral center, 91视频 provides care for many patients who live in rural settings. The ability to make a significant impact on our community, while enjoying the recreation-oriented Coeur d’Alene and surrounding areas, keeps our team engaged and motivated. This results in high retention rates for pharmacy staff; many of which are previous residents.
