The University of Kansas Medical Center and School of Pharmacy in cooperation with several community pharmacies throughout the state, welcome you to this unique community practice residency that provides a structured, post graduate education and training experience. This is an experience for pharmacists whose ability, motivation and career aspirations suggest potential for creative and innovative leadership in community pharmaceutical care practice. In view of the number of new drugs being developed, emerging reimbursement trends, changing health care delivery patterns, specialization in health care and increased need to improve drug therapy management, such an advanced training program is important.
The Community Pharmacy Residency is designed to:
Prepare the resident to assume ownership, management, or other significant roles in community pharmacy practice.
Provide the resident with experience in a progressive, educationally oriented community setting to develop administrative, clinical and research skills applicable to community practice, in providing comprehensive pharmaceutical care.
Encourage the resident to become an active member of the community by participating with the health care team in the delivery of health and service programs.
Enhance the public awareness of the community healthcare contributions of the pharmacist.
Residency applicants must be graduates from an ACPE accredited School of Pharmacy and eligible for Kansas licensure as a pharmacist. Appointments are for periods of 12 months, beginning July 1. Completed applications must be received by April 1st each year. Applicants must submit a program application form and three letters of recommendation for review. Candidates should be highly motivated, mature and of unquestionable integrity. A statement of the applicant's professional goals is also a part of the application form. A personal interview with the selection committee is required of all applicants.
Requests for further information and application forms should be addressed to Harold N. Godwin, Professor and Chairman of Pharmacy Practice, School of Pharmacy, 2058 Mallott Hall, Lawrence , KS 66045-2507 (e-mail hgodwin @kumc.edu).
