Working under collaborative drug therapy agreements, residents are responsible for initiating and adjusting medication therapy for a variety of patient populations. As a member of the health care team, residents work closely with providers, nurses and other health care disciplines. Residents are involved in interdisciplinary team rounds, education, committee work and stewardship activities, which will help develop practice leadership skills.
Kadlec Regional Medical Center is affiliated with Providence, one of the largest health care providers in the West with facilities in Alaska, Washington, Montana, Oregon, Texas, New Mexico and California. One of the reasons new pharmacy school graduates and residents decide to join us is that our clinical setting allows them to do much more of what they have trained to do. Our clinical pharmacists love the ongoing contact they get with people. The direct involvement in patient care and patient contact allows you to experience the rewards that come from the development of a practitioner-patient relationship.
