We require residents to complete an official residency project, which may be in the form of original research, a problem-solving exercise, or development or enhancement of some aspect of our pharmacy services. We expect residents to make formal presentations of their projects.
Presentation opportunities include:
- Western States Conference for Pharmacy Residents, Fellows, and Preceptors
- Washington State Pharmacy Association
- Kaiser Permanente Organization Stakeholders
- Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP)
