It provides opportunities for integrating the pharmaceutical care practice model and practice-based outcomes research in community/ambulatory settings. Key components of the residency experience are the advancement of the pharmacy profession and the discovery of new knowledge that leads to improved patient care. The community/ambulatory pharmacy residency experience will focus on the following competency areas:
It is expected that each practice site will offer additional experiences and opportunities to take advantage of the unique programs and services available. Additionally, each site offers flexibility in designing different rotations and educational experiences depending on the residents' specific interests. Residents will have opportunities to work with other residents in Washington state as well as attend local, regional and national meetings. There are currently three sites in the CPRP program which are described more fully in the Site Description section. International Community Health Services Ambulatory Care Residency Program The University of Washington School of Pharmacy and International Community Health Services (ICHS) Pharmacy Practice Residency Program is a 12-month training program focused on geriatric pharmacy and ambulatory clinical practice. The main goal of this program is to provide specialized training in geriatric pharmacotherapy and chronic disease state management, with emphasize on the provision of direct, comprehensive pharmaceutical care to patients. In addition to direct patient care, the resident will function as the coordinator of pharmacy services and consultant pharmacist for patients who reside at Legacy House, an assisted living facility. The resident will also be actively involved in education and participate in both clinical and classroom teaching, as well as precepting pharmacy students from the University of Washington School of Pharmacy. Other activities include developing drug information policies, conducting a major project and providing occasional relief-staffing coverage at the clinic pharmacy. The two primary sponsors of this Residency Program are the International Community Health services (ICHS) and the University of Washington School of Pharmacy. The ICHS provides the funding and residency salary and the UW School of Pharmacy provides resources in educational training, preceptorship and evaluation of the resident, as well as assist in the recruitment of the appropriate candidate.
