The Medical Center is one of the leading resources for health manpower training of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and allied health care personnel in the United States. Pediatrics, Emergency Department, and TPN consult service are offered as electives. Residents play a highly visible and crucial role in the PharmD program. Students view residents as highly approachable role models. The residents meet with third year students at weekly Therapeutics Modules discussion groups.
Residents also act as co-preceptors with faculty supervising fourth year students on clerkships.
All residents are requred to complete a research project that is presented at the annual Western States Conference. Each resident is expected to submit a paper for publication. Sessions are in small groups to enhance the learning experience. Residents may volunteer to deliver formal lectures to classes of 160 students or more if they are interested. An important milestone for residents is to see their residency project get published.
