Mayo Clinic uses a computer-based pharmaceutical care (P-Care) monitoring system. P-Care integrates data from disparate computer systems, including pharmacy, admissions, laboratory and microbiology. Computerized algorithms utilize this data to alert pharmacists to potential situations where therapy, safety or costs can be improved. Performing daily pharmaceutical care duties, P-Care is used to:
- Provide patient demographic data, laboratory data, microbiology data, medications, parenteral nutrition information and drug levels while on team rounds, during order processing and during medication profile review
- Identify patients whose medication therapy requires a pharmacist's daily review
- Identify and review treatments that are inconsistent with established medication rule-based algorithms
- Document pharmacist-performed clinical activities, interventions and monitoring notes
- Provide a forum for pharmacists, pharmacy residents and pharmacy students to communicate pertinent patient-specific, medication-related issues
Certification
Upon successful completion of your Pharmacotherapy Pharmacy PGY2 Residency, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Mayo School of Health Sciences. Graduates are eligible to take the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties’ examination in pharmacotherapy.
Hours
For the majority of the residency, your learning schedule will include 10-hour days, five days per week. In addition, you will be scheduled every third weekend. The goal of this experience is to help you integrate your didactic and patient care knowledge into the actual day-to-day practice of pharmaceutical care in a tertiary care medical center.
Positions
Each year, Mayo School of Health Sciences admits one resident to its Pharmacotherapy Pharmacy Practice Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. This ensures you will receive a comprehensive educational experience with close one-on-one instruction.
