Program Description: 

The Post Graduate Year 2 (PGY2) Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency at CoxHealth is a 12 month program that builds upon competencies achieved in a PGY1 pharmacy residency. This program is designed to prepare residents to function independently in an ambulatory care practice setting and is partnered with the CoxHealth Family Medical Care Center (FMCC), which has achieved recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a level three physician practice connections-patient centered medical home (PCC-PCMH). 

The residency includes five longitudinal experiences with elective rotations:

  1. Ambulatory Care Clinic - pharmacy residents assist with the provision of pharmaceutical care and disease state management for patients ranging from newborns to geriatrics; PGY2 residents also see patients independently in the pharmacist-managed clinic under its collaborative practice agreement.
  2. Residency Project - each resident conducts a clinical, humanistic or economic outcomes analysis of an ambulatory care service throughout the 12 months and presents this data at professional meetings.
  3. Teaching/Education – serves as a preceptor for advanced practice pharmacy students and PGY1 pharmacy residents; serves as a pharmacy resource for medical residents and other members of the FMCC health care team; may participate in a residency teaching certificate program.
  4. Leadership/Practice Management - establishes professional relationships with FMCC staff, patients and their caregivers; opportunities to aid physicians in optimizing disease state management by enhancing existing clinic services through updating treatment algorithms and protocols; develop new pharmacist-physician collaborative practice agreement to continue the enhancement of patient care.
  5. Staffing Component - consisting of one four-hour shift each week and every third Saturday at CoxHealth Convenient Care Pharmacy or Faith Community Health Free Medical Clinic in Branson.

Currently, the program is pending its site evaluation for accreditation from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP).
