The Residency Program Overview:

The emphasis of the program is on the development of skills in five distinct learning experiences: pharmaceutical care and practice management, distribution/staffing, teaching, project management, and entrepreneurship and leadership.

About 80 percent of the residency is spent at the practice site. Clinical responsibilities at the practice site will vary and will be under the guidance of the assigned site preceptor. Approximately 20 percent of the residency is spent at NEOMED under the guidance of the assigned preceptor.

NEOMED responsibilities include:

  • Teaching large and small groups as assigned.
  • Participating in committee work as assigned.
  • Attending college and department meetings.

In addition to fulfilling the residency program goals, residents will also be required to participate in a program orientation, complete research training, actively participate in program recruitment efforts, and engage in self-evaluations and assessments.
