Residency Special Features:
Grant Medical Center’s pharmacy residency program was established in 1963. The pharmacy staff takes personal interest in the clinical and administrative training of the residents. The resident will complete the majority of their course work at The Ohio State University during the first year while participating in PGY-1 rotations. The second year of residency will focus on finishing PGY-1 requirements and completing PGY-2 requirements. The resident actively participates in leadership activities for both operational and clinically oriented services. Longitudinal ambulatory care training enables the resident to establish individual relationships with patients and other health care professionals. There are several elective options and project opportunities to allow residents to pursue individual interests. Grant Medical Center is one of 17 hospitals within the OhioHealth Health-System. This exposes MS residents to opportunities and challenges at a system level. This exposure creates a differentiation among residency programs. As a future pharmacy leader the resident’s experience is extended beyond one or two sites during the two years to include as many as 17 hospitals, with the most frequent exposure consisting of 8 hospitals, home infusion pharmacy, and an extensive ambulatory pharmacy network. We believe this experience creates the greatest opportunity for the resident to make a significant impact post-residency in the environment of health-system pharmacy and accountable care organizations (ACOs).
