Pharmacy Residency Rotations and Requirements
Clinical Rotations
The pharmacy residency program includes required rotations, each a month in duration, and a choice of elective rotations lasting two to four weeks.
Residents are encouraged to attend presentations, conferences and lectures presented by the hospital medical staff. In addition to hospital-based presentations, the pharmacy department holds journal club, journal watch, case presentations, and continuing education activities.
