Ambulatory Care Residency

Residency Site

The practice sites for this ambulatory care residency include various community pharmacies within the Buffalo metropolitan area, several public schools within the Buffalo city school district, and the University at Buffalo Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine. Additional sites are available and will be tailored to the interests of the resident.

Learning Experiences

This unique residency experience will allow the resident to further refine their skills in pharmaceutical care, in addition to developing skills in the areas of program development (both community and internet based) and personnel and resource management. The resident will primarily be involved in the coordination and professional development of a network of community-based pharmacy practitioners participating in patient education and disease-state management initiatives and in the site development and maintenance of a web-based interactive pharmacotherapy resource. The resident will also be involved in the education of parents, school-aged children, and school personnel, and the application of pharmaceutical care to the management of children with asthma. This residency will provide the resident with ample latitude to explore their interests and further develop their skills as a pharmacy practitioner.

Teaching Experience

The resident will receive an appointment as a Clinical Instructor at the University of Buffalo, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. As a result of this appointment, the resident will be able to take advantage of lecturing opportunities available at the University, as well as being involved in the supervision of students in the Doctor of Pharmacy program on clerkship rotation.
