Pharmacy Resident Belmont University
About The Position
The Walgreens Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program is a postgraduate training opportunity for pharmacists to enhance their skills in community and specialty pharmacy. The primary residency practice site is a URAC-accredited community-based specialty and compounding pharmacy in Nashville, Tennessee, serving patients with conditions including oncology, transplant, chronic inflammatory and neurologic conditions, HIV, and hepatitis C. Specialty community pharmacists work closely with providers, patients, and the community to provide optimal drug therapy. Residents also gain insight into management issues that affect patient care services in community and specialty pharmacy settings. The pharmacist will complete a teaching certificate program and participate in teaching and precepting opportunities for the College of Pharmacy.
