The Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. – Hawaii Pharmacy Residency Program is an ASHP accredited PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency program.

The mission of the program is to develop pharmacists that provide evidence-based, compassionate, patient-focused and cost-effective pharmaceutical care for Kaiser Permanente Hawaii members and become self-directed learners with leadership skills to help further advance pharmacy practice.

Our residency program provides residents with a unique opportunity to develop advanced clinical pharmacy skills in a diverse range of practice settings including but not limited to ambulatory care, acute care, leadership and administration, quality and safety, and formulary management. Established physician-pharmacist partnerships allow residents to develop effective academic detailing. Residents will have many opportunities to establish community partnerships via precepting, community outreach, and professional conferences. Upon completion of the residency program, residents will have developed skills in clinical drug therapy application, interpersonal communication, critical literature evaluation, and formulary management necessary to function as an integral member of the health care team in an ambulatory care, acute care, or managed care setting, or in an advanced practice pharmacy residency program.
