Required Education:
This residency program aims to develop advanced community pharmacists who will provide direct patient care to a variety of patient populations, collaborate with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes, and incorporate patient care activities into the daily workflow of a community pharmacy.
This residency program is based out of Walgreen’s Specialty Pharmacy in Gulf Port, MS and multiple other Walgreen’s pharmacies in the area. Longitudinal learning experiences offer the resident the opportunity to practice continuously throughout the year in focused, direct patient care areas such as specialty pharmacy, medication and disease state management, routine and other immunizations, travel health, and clinical practice management. The resident will further develop patient care and management skills and knowledge while working directly with community pharmacist leaders. Graduates from this program are trained to be leaders in the pharmacy community and play an active role in advancing community pharmacy practice beyond dispensing.
