Master’s Program Coursework
Didactic coursework will be spread evenly across both years to allow for completion of a PGY1 certificate the first year and focus on administrative rotations the second year. Residents will participate in rotations and complete virtual asynchronous and synchronous coursework throughout each semester.
Quality Improvement Projects
Residents will be required to complete one operational audit during their first administrative rotation of the PGY1 year. Audit topics commonly involve evaluations of current processes and protocols with an operational focus. A medication use evaluation will also be completed during the first year of residency and this will be presented at the Vizient Midyear Poster Session and the Great Lakes Pharmacy Residency Conference (GLPRC).
Longitudinal Management
During the second year, residents will manage pharmacists and technicians within specialty pharmacy service area with a goal of enhancing both managerial and decision-making skills.
Research
Residents are expected to complete a major research project and formally present results at Residency Conference and/or Seminar. This project may also be the same project used to fulfill the requirement for the master’s degree. The resident must also submit a project manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Additional Experiences
Beyond the didactic coursework and rotation activities, residents also participate in journal clubs, attend and present continuing education at the Department of Pharmacy’s Resident Education Series and attend local and national meetings. During the first year, residents will rotate responsibility with the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program on-call pager as well as primary code blue coverage. Additionally, all residents are required to volunteer at the Columbus Free Clinic for 12 hours throughout the year.
Rotation Experiences
During the first year, residents complete month-long rotations, which include both administrative and clinical rotations. In total, residents will complete six weeks of orientation, at least twelve administrative rotations, eight clinical rotations and the option of an offsite/elective rotation during the twenty-four-month experience.
