Why Complete a Community Residency?

The Community Pharmacy Residency program is committed to developing well-rounded clinicians who are able to provide advanced practice services in a variety of clinical settings.  The program will equip residents to provide these services to diverse patient populations, collaborate with other healthcare providers as part of an integrated team, teach and mentor pharmacy students, develop and provide innovative services in the community setting and take an active role in advancing the practice of community pharmacy.

The community pharmacy resident has a variety of opportunities to deliver pharmaceutical care. Facilities include The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy, the Kroger Company, and the Neighborhood Health Association (NHA), including the Cordelia Martin Health Center, a federally-qualified health center. The College currently partners with Kroger to develop and implement advanced pharmaceutical care services in the community practice setting. Initiatives are primarily focused on medication therapy management, collaborative drug therapy, immunization, and health screenings. The College also provides pharmacy services for NHA, offering community support and health services for underserved individuals.

The resident will have opportunities for teaching within the College, and a teaching certificate program for residents is offered within The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy. Residents will participate in the development of pharmacy care initiatives in each of our community practice facilities.

Research is encouraged, especially in the areas of medication therapy management, collaborative drug therapy management, assessment of cost benefit for pharmaceutical care, and reimbursement for the delivery of patient care services. State-of-the-art laboratory and research facilities at The University of Toledo are among the finest in the region.

In addition to patient care and research opportunities, a variety of other educational activities are available to the resident. These include attendance at institution-sponsored seminars and workshops, clinical and didactic instruction to PharmD students, presentation of continuing education seminars at the College of Pharmacy, and completion of advanced coursework in related areas.
