Rotations

Residents are required to take five Clinical core rotations-- 6 weeks in length.  The Clinical core rotations include: Ambulatory Care, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, One Critical Care rotation (resident's choice), and Infectious Diseases. 

I really felt that the rotations and preceptors are what make this residency program strong and stand out from other residency programs. - Dr. Michelle Chang (2005-2006)

Administration rotation is a core rotation for 4 weeks in length.

Residents are also required to take two elective rotations -- 4 weeks in length.  Residents will choose their elective rotations based on their interests.

    After completing some of my rotations at Community Regional Medical Center as a student, I quickly realized that the pharmacy residency program offered here is exactly what I was looking for.  The teaching environment offers me a unique opportunity to learn, and grow, alongside the medical residents that I round with.  The clinical preceptors are knowledgable, supportable, and truly invested in my learning.  The pharmacy staff are friendly and helpful, which creates a cohesive work environment.  As a resident, I appreciate that this residency program is so well structured and organized, which will help me manage my deadlines and allow me to devote more time to my learning experiences.  I feel that the staffing requirements are intense, but I am glad that it will help me to become a more well-rounded pharmacist by offering me experiences in the IV room, and on the floors monitoring TPNs, warfarin, and vancomycin/aminoglycoside kinetics. -Dr. Nicole Lu (2010-2011)
