Can I change my rotations over the course of the year?
Yes, our program is very flexible with rotation changes especially when trying to accommodate the residents’ learning experience and interests as the year progresses.
Staffing
The resident will staff in the outpatient / discharge pharmacy at UWMC-ML campus. The resident will staff 32 hours each month. A typical staffing schedule would consistent of one evening shift a week (4 hours) + one weekend, Saturday and Sunday, a month (16 hours). However, we are flexible with weekend staffing such that residents can choose to work two Saturdays in a month rather than one weekend.
Projects
Residents have contributed to a variety of quality improvement projects which have been implemented within the UW system. Projects examples exclude evaluation of outpatient opioid requirements for non-surgical burn patients, evaluation of efficacy and safety of buprenorphine micro-dose cross titration protocol, evaluation of safety of BMT service PCAs in the setting of mucositis related pain, optimization of qutenza patch protocol and formulary review, etc.
