Residency programs are available to train pharmacists in professional practice and management activities. There are many benefits to participating in a residency program, including enhancing patient
care and management skills, learning how to teach and precept
students, participating in a project, developing leadership skills
and gaining better understanding of global issues that affect the profession. Another important benefit is the significant advantage to
be gained by working with some of the most innovative pharmacy practitioners and leaders in the country. These practitioners
can often expose the resident to state-of the-art practices they never thought were possible. Residents gain confidence, enhanced problem-solving abilities, and improved communication skills, and their residency serves as an important stepping stone in developing their professional career.
