Research Project

Each pharmacy resident completes at least one MUE or other smaller project along with a major research project.  The major research project may be scientific-, practice-, or administrative-based research, but must demonstrate a value for clinical pharmacy services.  Project is presented at the UHC resident poster session prior to the ASHP Midyear Clinical meeting, ASHP poster session, Fall and Spring OCCP meeting and Great Lakes Pharmacy Resident Conference. Publication is expected.
