Director's Message
Program Director - Davina Dell-Steinbeck, PharmD, BCPS

As Residency Program Director at SSM St. Mary’s Health Center, I would like to thank you for your interest in our PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency Program. Our residency program was started in 2001 to lift the level of pharmacy practice in our department equal to the needs of a community based teaching hospital. All of the graduates of our program have placed in a clinical practice setting, academia, or a PGY-2 residency program. Eight residents have stayed with St. Mary's for a period of time. The opportunity to continue working with our residents after completion of the program is a rewarding experience.

SSM St. Mary's Health Center Pharmacy, due in part to our program, practices a very clinically assertive approach to pharmacy. From rounding with house staff physicians, conducting therapeutic drug monitoring, teaching patients about their medications, and code response the pharmacy is intricately involved in all aspects in the continuum of patient care. Pharmacy services at our institution is one of the most respected departments in the hospital. Through our patient safety initiatives, protocol development, committee participation, and overall practice excellence, the pharmacy truly exemplies the SSM Mission Statement. Through our Exceptional Health Care Services, We Reveal the Healing Presence of God.
