The Pharmacy Residency Program at SSM Health St. Clare Hospital – Fenton is a 12-month, ASHP-accredited experience designed to develop residents’ clinical knowledge through exposure to a variety of practice settings. We offer two Pharmacy PGY-1 residency positions each year and create a program that corresponds with our residents’ specific needs and interests.
Residency Program Overview
Our decentralized pharmacy staff consists of approximately 60 employees inclusive of 30 pharmacists. Our clinical pharmacy services are carried out by clinical pharmacy specialists, PGY-1 pharmacy residents, and other decentralized clinical pharmacy staff. These clinical pharmacy services focus primarily on internal medicine (general medicine, and neurology), critical care (level 1 stroke center with a 28-bed mixed medical/surgical intensive care unit) and ambulatory care (family medicine and outpatient anticoagulation clinics). In addition to direct patient care activities, clinical pharmacists perform antimicrobial stewardship activities, complete pharmacokinetic and other clinical consults, educate patients and providers, and precept pharmacy students.
Our pharmacy utilizes the latest advances in technology, including the EPIC electronic health record inclusive of a clinical pharmacy dashboard, automated dispensing cabinets and medication storage devices, and advanced inventory technology, to deliver optimum and continuous patient care. Unique features of the hospital include 100% private patient rooms and a decentralized nursing model.
