Mission and Purpose

Providence St. Peter Family Medicine pharmacy residency is committed to excellence in patient-centered care and advancement of pharmacy practice.

The purpose of Providence St. Peter Family Medicine residency program is to train pharmacists who specialize in provision of primary care services within an interdisciplinary team while advancing patient-centered care through quality improvement, practice-based leadership, and education of the health care team.

This residency prepares pharmacists to pursue an ambulatory care role where initiation and expansion of services are needed, and pharmacy leadership and education are desired.

Fostering Independence

Preceptors emphasize independence and growth in all learning experiences. By fostering ownership of clinical tasks, educational endeavors, and project management, we aim to graduate pharmacists who are prepared to thrive as an independent ambulatory care pharmacist. 

Curriculum

Providence St. Peter Family Medicine Residency is a multi-site program where residents practice longitudinally at their family medicine teaching clinic, St. Peter Family Medicine or Chehalis Family Medicine. The resident will be a credentialed member of the medical team and will practice independently, managing chronic disease states of their patient panel using extensive collaborative practice agreements and billing insurance for services rendered. The residency year is arranged longitudinally so that residents spend 2 days/week in their continuity clinic, 1.5 days/week working on administrative tasks or their service enhancement project, and 1.5 days/week rotating through blocks of required rotations and electives. Electives are resident-driven, adjusted based on resident interests and career goals.
