Partially; currently Swedish will pay for select travel expenses related to recruiting for the Residency Program.

Do the Residents go to educational meetings?

Yes. Residents are scheduled to attend the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting in December and one regional pharmacy residency conference in May, both of which are partially paid for by Swedish.

What else does Swedish pay for the Resident?

Swedish also pays for parking on the First Hill Campus for the residency year for those Residents commuting to work. Swedish also provides discounted passes for select transit.

Do the Residents have their own office?

On the First Hill Campus, the Residents have a dedicated office space with computers, printer, and phones.

Do you supply and/or pay for lab coats, scrubs, uniforms, or jackets?

With the exception of hospital supplied scrubs that may be worn in central pharmacy, we do not supply or pay for any clothing or apparel worn at work, while on duty, or at any recruiting events, educational meetings, or conferences.

What types of health benefits are available to the Residents?

Residents have access to the same medical and dental insurance plans that are offered to all full time Swedish staff employees.
