A variety of critical care and specialty services are provided by hospital-based pharmacists, clinical pharmacists, and clinical pharmacy specialists at SJHC.

The programs at SJHC are designed to provide broad exposure to patient-centered care in a dynamic and goal-oriented environment. Emphasis is placed on development of independent practice skills in comprehensive pharmacy practice, clinical and didactic teaching, research methodology, and self-evaluation. Great importance is placed on the residents’ individual goals and expectations thereby allowing program experiences and assessments to be regularly restructured to keep pace with their development throughout the year. An interactive teaching environment allows residents to precept pharmacy student experiences and present classroom lectures. The on-call program is a resident learning experience that exemplifies the critical role residents serve in providing patient care. Residents are members of the Adult Cardiac Code team as well as the Medical Rapid Response team and provide care to patients during emergency scenarios. The Chief resident program allows each resident to cultivate strong leadership qualities while serving as the primary contact for the residency during alternating blocks of time. Responsibilities of the Chief include coordinating the P&T committee, attending medical staff meetings, and planning residency events. Upon completion of the program, each resident will be prepared to be exceedingly competitive in both clinical or leadership opportunities within the profession. PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency A variety of rotational as well as longitudinal experiences help to refine residents’ in-depth knowledge and skills in independent practice. Rotations are offered in a variety of therapeutic areas and are tailored to the interests of the individual. While on clinical service, the residents’ responsibilities include collaboration with healthcare team members via participation on rounds and independent therapeutic drug monitoring to identify, resolve, and prevent drug-related problems in support of optimal patient centered care. PGY-2 Cardiology Residency The purpose of the PGY-2 Cardiology Residency is to further develop clinical skills in key areas of cardiology and critical care medicine. Core rotations expose the resident to a variety of cardiovascular therapeutic areas and at least half of all clinical experiences focus on critically ill patients. The PGY-2 resident participates in interdisciplinary rounds and serves as a team member for the Heart Failure Fast Track, the AMI Fast Track, the CT Fast Track, and Cardiac Cath Lab teams. 3 Visit our website www.sjhlex.org/pharmacy
