PGY1 Boise, Meridian and Nampa Outpatient Pharmacies
This 12-month program is designed to help the resident develop expertise and competency in providing pharmaceutical care to a variety of patients in the outpatient setting. Because St. Luke's is a complex health system, this experience offers exposure to a variety of rotations, such as transitions of care, ambulatory care and hospice.
Residents train under the guidance of skilled preceptors in various specialties to develop sound clinical and leadership skills. Our goal is to produce innovative pharmacy practice leaders who are prepared to tackle the challenges of a rapidly evolving health care system.
The residency experience encompasses required (foundational) and elective longitudinal rotation experiences. Flexibility is built into our program, which allows each resident to tailor a program to fit their individual needs.
