Educational Experience

The resident at Goodrich Pharmacy will be responsible for much of the patient care that takes place at our site. During their residency year, the resident will spend part of their time in the clinic providing patient care services including CMM and disease state management with the use of 9 different collaborative practice agreements. As leaders in community pharmacy CMM, Goodrich Pharmacy expects the resident to uphold this standard and continue to expand this service in our four locations. In doing so, they will become proficient in using multiple billing platforms and develop the skills to start, manage and grow a CMM program. The pharmacy also collaborates with multiple local mental health providers to offer pharmacogenomic testing and education for patients.

They will also be responsible for marketing and managing our influenza and adult vaccination program. The resident conducts regular chart reviews for local assisted living facilities and provides regular patient presentations to their residents. Throughout the residency, the resident is involved in helping precept students, leading journal club discussions and completing a quality improvement project. On top of all of these responsibilities, the resident is also an integral member of our pharmacy staff and is required to staff the community pharmacy on a regular basis.
