We are guided in this mission by our strategic plan that focuses on five key priorities: optimizing our pharmacy information system, refining our practice model, enhancing our medication safety program, establishing the pharmacy as a workplace of choice in Central Ohio and refining our academic relationships and department scholarship. Training future generations of pharmacists is a vital part of our mission. Our pharmacists serve as preceptors for our residency programs while providing experiential training for Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students.
Our residency program has a 55-year tradition of excellence with our graduates being well-prepared to work at a high-level in a wide-variety of institutional and ambulatory patient care facilities. The Department of Pharmacy, in partnership with the Ohio State College of Pharmacy, strives to develop the skills of our residents and provide a residency program that is recognized nationally for the quality and excellence of its graduates.
Program History

The goal is to provide a comprehensive experience for the resident so that they may assume a position of leadership in pharmacy. Over 350 leaders have graduated in its first 60 years of existence. Today, these graduates continue to advance the profession of pharmacy in various avenues across the country. We offer this legacy to those interested in the MS Residency Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Master’s Program Coursework
The majority of the didactic coursework is completed during the first year of the residency program. During the Fall and Spring semesters when classes are in session, residents complete four longitudinal rotations, which include two administrative and two clinical rotations. Residents will participate in rotations in the mornings and attend classes in the afternoons. 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.
Quality Improvement Projects
Residents will also be required to complete two operational or clinical audits during their first year of residency. Audit topics commonly involve evaluations of current processes and protocols with an operational or clinical focus. Audit preceptors evaluate the residents’ research and writing skills, and then provide feedback on each of the audits in order to further develop and refine the residents’ skills. A medication use evaluation will also be completed during the first year of residency and this or an audit will be presented at the Great Lakes Pharmacy Residency Conference.
Longitudinal Management
During the second year, residents will manage pharmacists and technicians within a pharmacy department service area with a goal of enhancing both managerial and decision-making skills. Potential service areas include but are not limited to: Surgical ICU satellite pharmacy, Ross satellite pharmacy, OSU East Community Hospital pharmacy, emergency medicine clinical specialists, transplant pharmacy clinical specialists, sterile products area, outpatient retail pharmacy, investigational drug services and the outpatient oncology infusion pharmacy.
Research
Residents are expected to complete a major research project under the supervision of faculty members from The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy and administrators from the Department of Pharmacy. This project will be presented at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and the Great Lakes Pharmacy Residency Conference. Project manuscripts will be submitted 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, complete an administrative audit, a medication use evaluation 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.
