Why choose the CHI Memorial
Pharmacy Residency?
CHI Memorial pharmacists practice in an innovative environment and are valuable members of the healthcare team. Pharmacists are decentralized with a presence in the
emergency department, outpatient clinic, all ICUs, and all medical floors. We are the region's referral center for cardiac procedures and strokes.
The pharmacy is equipped with advanced technology along with systems that promote safe and effective medication use, including Epic, Medication Carousel, Pyxis, Smart Infusion pumps, and bedside bar-coding. Pharmacists hold advanced degrees,
residency training, board certification, and years of distribution and management experience. We are the 2022 TN Society of Health-System Pharmacists Residency Program of the year recipient.
