Our PGY1 clinical residency provides the opportunity to develop advanced pharmacy practice skills in a progressive community hospital setting. Clinical pharmacists provide comprehensive inpatient pharmaceutical care services to patients in all care areas of the hospital including the medical/surgical units, adult ICU, cardiology, emergency department, internal medicine, neurology, neonatology, obstetrics, psychiatry, and surgical units. Additionally, clinical specialist and lead pharmacists provide expertise in the areas of anticoagulation, critical care, drug policy, infectious diseases, medication safety, nutrition support, perinatal and perioperative management to complement the clinical pharmacist care teams. Residency rotations are available in these various practice areas with dedicated preceptors who have extensive clinical experience. Each resident's rotation schedule is tailored to meet his or her individual needs and interests. The residents provide didactic and experiential teaching to PharmD students during their clinical rotations at UnityPoint Health-Meriter. In addition, the residents provide instruction to 2nd and 3rd year Doctor of Pharmacy students in the Integrated Pharmacotherapy Skills Lab at the University of Wisconsin. Residents are encouraged to participate in the UW-Madison Teaching Certificate Program designed to develop and enhance their teaching skills. A research project is required of all residents completing the program.
