In addition to this, residents have the lecture opportunities at colleges of pharmacy. Residents are given the opportunity to precept pharmacy student and participate in the preceptorship of medical resident rotations. Residents are able to participate in the Indiana Pharmacy Teaching Certificate

 Residency Pearls Beyond Our Stellar Preceptors and Curriculum

• The Mission of Saint Joseph Health Center is very tangible on a daily basis.
• We focus on training people who happen to have chosen pharmacy as a profession instead of just training pharmacists.
• Our atmosphere is unique as we are a residency program that grew a department of pharmacy.
• We know our stuff, but we like to have fun. Patient care is serious, not everything else has to be.
• We expect our residents to become autonomous and take great strides to foster independence by intentionally modeling, coaching, and facilitating.
• We graduate three dimensional pharmacists. You will be able to treat patients, teach students, and lead into the future.
• Our residency programs are very collegial. You will feel like you are part of a class of 40 residents.
• We prefer to have our PGY1 pharmacy residents continue in the PGY2 program, but it is not required.
• Our alumni network is vast and ALL alumni freely give back to the program on an annual basis.
• We are the first PGY1 pharmacy residency program to include training in global health -- transparently, we have to see what this looks like with COVID.
• We are one of the first PGY1 pharmacy residency programs focused in ambulatory care
