Pharmacy Residency

Monroe Clinic’s PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency with an empasis in Ambulatory/Primary Care was established in 2007. The residency's primary goal is to prepare competent pharmacist clinicians, capable for any of the following: independently in a clinic setting in collaboration with physicians; adjunct faculty positions; PGY-2 training.  Throughout the year, the resident will work alongside physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists, providing support to physician colleagues and assisting with pharmacist-run pharmacotherapy clinics. The program has a strong teaching emphasis, including a learning experience as a clinical instructor in Pharmacotherapy Lab at the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and completion of a Teaching Certificate Program. Required learning experiences include Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Medication Use, Pharmacotherapy Clinic, and Pharmacotherapy Lab Teaching. Elective learning experiences include Psychiatry, Pulmonology and allergy, Rheumatology, and Gastroenterology. Based on resident interest, there may be opportunity for rotations in Nephrology, Cariology Women's Health, Endocrinology, and Pediatrics.  The program meets all goals and objectives of the American Society of Health System Pharmacists accreditation standards, with accreditation currently pending.
