The Pharmacy Residency Experience
The St. Luke's pharmacy team is dedicated to providing safe, high quality, evidence-based pharmaceutical care that fosters efficient and effective drug therapy management in collaboration with other healthcare team members in an atmosphere of trust, respect, and mentorship.
In Their Own Words
We surveyed past and current pharmacy residents to learn more about their experience as part of the St. Luke's Pharmacy Residency program. We were thrilled to learn that they appreciate the culture, environment and career preparation opportunities that we've strived to cultivate.
Pharmacy Residents Perspectives
- "I felt very supported throughout my residency experience. You are given a great deal of autonomy to practice as your own clinician but they give the perfect balance of support should you need/ask for it. That was huge for me in order to facilitate my learning. I felt like I was able grow as an individual but felt safe doing so because everyone was so willing to help if needed."
- "The most memorable part of my experience has been the people. I have had the opportunity to get to know my patients, allowing me to provide optimal care by assessing and overcoming barriers unique to each patient. Additionally, I work with some of the most compassionate and knowledgeable colleagues who I continue to learn from every day."
- "The most memorable thing from my residency experience would be how much I felt like part of the team. I felt like my opinion on patient care mattered and that other pharmacists as well as inter-professional team members listened to my suggestions as a resident."
- "The relationships formed with co-residents, pharmacy staff, managers, directors, and leadership is the most important and memorable thing for me coming out of residency. I still communicate with many of these people today, and know that they will have my back when I need it, and they know I've got their back when they need it!"
