This program prepares its graduates to assume positions as outpatient clinic\/community pharmacy clinicians, community pharmacy managers, to serve as adjunct faculty for a college of pharmacy, or to pursue careers in academia.<\/p>\n<p>The resident will rotate through a variety of community and ambulatory care pharmacy practices providing various clinical services at Ralphs pharmacies and a safety-net clinic. Clinical service activities include counseling patients, initiating and adjusting medication therapies, ordering laboratory tests, performing physical assessments, implementing patient care programs, communicating with other health care providers, and managing a clinical practice. The resident will also get hands-on experience in community pharmacy corporate management. Through the program, the resident will have the opportunity to receive a teaching and research certificate and participate in didactic and experiential teaching activities. Research experience will involve the completion of a major clinical project during the course of the residency year. Findings from the project will be presented at the Western States Conference in the Spring of the residency year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Required Learning Experiences:<\/strong> Orientation, Community Pharmacy Practice, Community Pharmacy Corporate, Interprofessional Clinic-Based Pharmacy Practice, Research Project, Teaching Certificate, Leadership, and Precepting<\/p>\n<p>Elective Learning Experiences may be developed based on resident interest and preceptor availability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary Sites:<\/strong>\u00a0 Ralphs Pharmacy and 986 Pharmacy<\/p>\n<p>Primary Sites for the program are where the resident spends a majority of their training time.\u00a0 There are two primary sites for this program.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ralphs Pharmacy<\/strong>, a division of The Kroger Company, operates over 76 pharmacy locations throughout Southern California. Our pharmacies are committed to providing a holistic, personalized, quality health experience. The primary practice site for this Learning Experience is an individual Ralphs store in Placentia, CA, where the resident will gain longitudinal store-based community care experience. The resident spends 1-2 days per week fulfilling this learning experience.\u00a0 In addition to dispensing medications and counseling, we provide everyday health and wellness services. These include vaccinations, health and wellness screenings, transitions of care services, medication management consisting of comprehensive and targeted medication reviews, medication synchronization, and adherence services.\u00a0 Chronic disease management, and coaching and prevention programs are also delivered in our pharmacies, as well as advanced clinical services with prescriptive authority are practiced where authorized.<\/li>\n<li><strong>986 Pharmacy<\/strong> is a group of independent pharmacy organizations under 986 Degrees Corporation. The primary practice site for this learning experience will be at 986 pharmacy La Verne. Additional sites may include various independent pharmacies within the group. The 986 Pharmacy site strives to integrate clinical community pharmacy practice within this entrepreneurship learning experience.

The resident will also have inpatient experiences through Olive View- UCLA. The purpose of the Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency Program is to educate pharmacy graduates to obtain the knowledge and skills needed to become competent in pharmacy practice. The residency program is designed to provide the resident with opportunities to conceptualize, integrate, and transform accumulated experiences and knowledge into improved drug therapy and patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>During pharmacy residency rotations, the resident participates in all aspects of patient medication use therapy including selection, assessment, monitoring, reconciliation, safety, and adherence. The resident will work as a part of the multidisciplinary team advising physicians, nurses, and patients on appropriate medication use; attending rounds and conferences; and providing lectures on drug therapy to medical, pharmacy, and nursing staff.<\/p>\n<p>Taking advantage of the university affiliation, the resident will participate in both the didactic and experiential teaching of Doctor of Pharmacy students at Olive View-UCLA, St. Mary Medical Center, and Western University. Research experience will involve the completion of a major clinical project during the course of the residency year. Selection of the project is a joint effort between the resident, program director, and residency preceptors. The residency project is identified early in the year and a final report is required. The project will be presented at the Western Pharmacy Residency Conference in the Spring of the residency year.<\/p>\n\n          <\/template>\n        <\/app-accordion-item>\n              <app-accordion-item class=\"accordion-group block leading-1 opt-1\" content-class=\"accordion-group__panel wysiwyg-content\">\n          <template #accordion-trigger=\"{ href, visible, setRef, clickHandler }\">\n            <a :href=\"'#' + href\" \n              :ref=\"setRef\"\n              :class=\"['accordion-group__button scroll-mt-160', {'accordion__trigger_active': visible}]\"\n              @click.stop.prevent=\"clickHandler\"\n            >\n            <span class=\"block py-10\">\n              PGY2 Cardiology Pharmacy\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"accordion-group-icon relative flex w-56 h-56 ml-20 justify-center items-center bg-black rounded-full flex-shrink-0\">\n                            <span class=\"w-16 icon-chevron-down\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!Font Awesome Free 6.6.0 by @fontawesome - https:\/\/fontawesome.com License - https:\/\/fontawesome.com\/license\/free Copyright 2024 Fonticons, Inc.--><path d=\"M233.4 406.6c12.5 12.5 32.8 12.5 45.3 0l192-192c12.5-12.5 12.5-32.8 0-45.3s-32.8-12.5-45.3 0L256 338.7 86.6 169.4c-12.5-12.5-32.8-12.5-45.3 0s-12.5 32.8 0 45.3l192 192z\"\/><\/svg>\n              <\/span>\n              <span class=\"w-16 icon-chevron-up\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!Font Awesome Free 6.6.0 by @fontawesome - https:\/\/fontawesome.com License - https:\/\/fontawesome.com\/license\/free Copyright 2024 Fonticons, Inc.--><path d=\"M233.4 105.4c12.5-12.5 32.8-12.5 45.3 0l192 192c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3s-32.8 12.5-45.3 0L256 173.3 86.6 342.6c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0s-12.5-32.8 0-45.3l192-192z\"\/><\/svg>\n              <\/span>\n                          <\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/template>\n          <template #accordion-content>\n            <p><strong>PGY2 Pharmacy (formerly PGY2 &#8211; Cardiology)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Program Director: Cynthia Jackevicius, BScPhm, MSc, PharmD, APh, BCPS-AQ Cardiology, BCCP, FCSHP, FAHA, FCCP, FCCS, FACC<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em>Residency Features:<\/em>\u00a0The primary focus is providing cardiology-focused pharmaceutical care to a large adult medicine population.
