Director's Message

"The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered." William J. Mayo, M.D.
Mayo Clinic's mission is the foundation of all that we do at Mayo. It allows us to remain focused on the most important aspect of care, the patient.

We are excited to offer a new pharmacy residency program at Mayo that focuses on primary care. Over 65,000 ambulatory patients seek treatment for a variety of conditions at Mayo Clinic in Rochester each year. It is a rewarding experience to sit down with a patient and share knowledge of medications. As a resident in our program, you will have the opportunity to review their medications, assist in creating a safe and effective medication regimen, and increase their knowledge of their health care treatment.

Pharmacy Services provides the highest-quality, safest, cost-effective pharmaceutical care through an interdisciplinary team working together in clinical practice, education and research. Your residency will integrate all three Mayo shields: Practice, education, and research. With the wide variety of primary care core and elective rotations available, your experience is tailored to meet your needs and interests.

After completion of the program, you will have the skills and confidence to go on to a successful pharmacy practice. I encourage you to review our site, contact us with questions and consider the vast opportunities awaiting you in our Pharmacy Practice Residency in Primary Care.

Best regards,

Amanda Z. Davis, Pharm.D., M.B.A.
Program Director, Pharmacy Practice Residency in Primary Care
