Pharmacy Residency Program

The Department of Pharmacy at Central Washington Hospital offers an American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited PGY-1 Residency. 
The Pharmacy Practice Residency is a 12-month program with two resident positions available.

• This program enables residents to participate in evidence-based, patient-centered medication management.
• Leadership, writing, and teaching skills are developed through clinical rotations as a member of the multidisciplinary team and by participation in administrative and operational services.
• Competency is shaped by feedback from preceptors and from self-evaluation. Each resident's learning plan is individualized.
• Residents are eligible for full benefits; they are required to staff every third weekend in the inpatient pharmacy.
• Washington licensure is required (must be completed by September 30th).
• A major clinical or administrative project must also be completed during the course of the residency year.  Project selection is a joint effort between the resident, program director, and preceptors.

Residents develop skills to solve complex medication related problems through rotations in Acute Care, ambulatory care and drug policy.

• Acute Care Rotations: Internal Medicine, Oncology, Cardiology, Intensive Care 
• Ambulatory Care Rotation, Home Infusion 
• Longitudinal Rotations: Practice Management, Residency Project, Diabetes Management
