The Fairview Hospital Pharmacy Residency (PGY-1) is a one-year postgraduate training program that provides a foundation of diverse experiences in pharmaceutical care and hospital pharmacy practice. The program is designed to expose the resident to a variety of practice areas in acute care and ambulatory environments to build and expand the knowledge and skills necessary for direct patient care. Residents who successfully complete this program are well prepared for specialized residencies, fellowships, and opportunities in clinical hospital practice.

Throughout the year, residents are involved in a variety of service, education and research activities. They also provide longitudinal support for key pharmacy practice initiatives such as formulary management, patient education and medication reconciliation. Required experiences include adult internal medicine, critical care, cardiology, infectious disease, unit-based pharmacy practice, emergency medicine and pharmacy leadership.

Required longitudinal rotations are ambulatory family medicine clinic, research project and staffing. Electives include oncology, pediatric/adolescent psychiatry, trauma, investigational drug services, inpatient family medicine, nephrology and critical care (surgery). There are also opportunities to complete teaching and leadership certificates.

In addition to clinical activities, residents are involved in educational programs, which include pharmacy case   conferences and continuing education seminar presentations to internal medicine residents. Other teaching opportunities include medical and nursing in-services and precepting students from local colleges of pharmacy. Research skills are developed throughout the year as residents complete a research project and drug use evaluation. Residents attend the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Ohio Pharmacy Residency Conference and have the opportunity to attend and participate in other state and local conferences.
