Graduates will be encouraged to apply for PGY 1 and 2 residencies in ambulatory care and related specialty training. As space is limited, students will be selected based on availability.
REQUEST PROGRAM INFORMATION
Ambulatory care pharmacists work in community and chain pharmacies, outpatient clinics, physician offices and hospitals. An ambulatory care pharmacist can manage patients in collaboration with physicians and other prescribers in an outpatient care setting and often are crucial in managing chronic disease states like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and many others. Collaborative practice agreements set up with physicians and other prescribers allow pharmacists to perform patient assessments, manage diseases through monitoring and adjusting medication use, coordinate care with other providers and provide patient education and counseling services. Through these types of partnerships, ambulatory care pharmacists can have a major impact on wellness, prevention and optimum outcomes for their patient populations.
