Residency Overview

SSM Health Monroe Hospital’s PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency was established in 2007, and highly emphasizes ambulatory care pharmacy practice. The residency’s primary goal is to prepare competent pharmacist clinicians for any of the following:

• Independent work in a clinic setting in collaboration with physicians
• Adjunct faculty positions
• PGY2 training

The resident will work alongside physicians, advanced practice providers and pharmacists, providing support to physician colleagues and assisting with pharmacist-run pharmacotherapy clinics managing medications through extensive collaborative practice agreements. The program has a strong teaching emphasis, including a learning experience as a clinical instructor in the pharmacotherapy lab at the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and completion of a teaching certificate program.

Residents participate in unique programs like public health outreach projects, professional development programs, and multidisciplinary presentations.
