Pharmacy Learning Experiences
Core Learning Experiences – PGY1
The PGY1 Onvida Inpatient Orientation is a 5-week learning experience designed to allow the resident to begin to learn the workflow and role of the Onvida Health pharmacy department.
During the course of this learning experience, the resident will be exposed to a number of different roles within the pharmacy department, as the resident may be required to staff one of these roles during the course of their PGY1 experience. The experiences the residents will be participating in include but are not limited to: Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification, PALS Certification, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification, Epic (Onvida Health’s electronic health record) training and staffing in the central pharmacy (order verification, checking of medications) and seeing patients in the Anticoagulation Clinic.
By the end of the learning experience, it will be expected that the resident will have developed a solid foundation of the workflow in the Onvida Health inpatient pharmacy and begin to work as a pharmacist within the organization.
The Internal Medication residency learning experience is a 6 week required learning experience at Onvida Health. This rotation allows the resident to be involved in the care of patients in the general medicine setting (medical/surgical), which includes a wide variety of disease states. Emphasis is made to enhance the resident’s knowledge of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease states and complications encountered in general medicine patients. The resident’s primary responsibility is evaluation of medication therapy for patients. This includes identifying and resolving drug therapy problems, communication of the recommendations to appropriate healthcare providers, implementation of the follow-up plan and appropriate documentation in the patient chart and/or clinical pharmacy consult records. Residents will expand their pharmacotherapy knowledge through participation in topic discussions, literature searches, review of evidence-based guidelines and review of patient cases. Residents may be assigned additional projects during the rotation that will supplement their knowledge and improve medication use in the hospital.
The Critical Care I Learning Experience is a 6 week required learning experience at Onvida Health. This Learning Experience allows the resident to be directly involved in the care of patients in the 42-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The pharmacy resident is responsible for the evaluation of all medication therapies associated with the care of patients in the ICU. The resident will be responsible for keeping their own monitoring book of all patients in the ICU during their Learning Experience. This will allow the resident to monitor and follow as well as track the identification and resolution of drug therapy problems within their patient population, including, but not limited to, providing and documenting therapeutic drug monitoring services in patients receiving drugs requiring monitoring, including, but not limited to, aminoglycosides, vancomycin and TPN. As the resident gains experience, not only will they be expected to participate in multidisciplinary rounds each morning, but also to communicate recommendations to the health care team as appropriate. Being that the residents are ACLS certified, it will be expected that they attend all codes throughout hospital while on ICU service. Residents will expand their pharmacotherapy knowledge through participation in topic discussions, literature, review of evidence-based guidelines and review of patient cases with the preceptor and ICU intensivist physician. Residents may be assigned additional projects/presentations during the Learning Experience that will improve their knowledge base and improve care to critical care patients.
During this 6 week Learning Experience, the resident will be assigned to staff different pharmacists’ shifts throughout the experience and it will be upon the resident to complete all assigned tasks for that shift. The main difference between this Learning Experience and Internal Medicine, Critical Care and the longitudinal staffing will be that the resident will not be assigned to cover, or handle solely, the clinical support for a single unit, but rather the resident will take on the exact workload that would have been assigned to the pharmacist for that shift.
The Student Preceptor Learning Experience is a 6 week required learning experience that is focused on the resident acting as a preceptor to an Introductory Pharmacy Practices Experiences (IPPE)/Advanced Pharmacy Practices Experiences (APPE) student assigned to Onvida Health for Learning Experience. The length of this Learning Experience will vary by student, as schools may have different lengths of Learning Experiences. This Learning Experience will take place in the spring portion of the resident’s year, generally, after the resident has completed after the resident has completed the AHSP Teaching Certificate. During this Learning Experience, the resident will be able to use skills attained from the ASHP Certificate Program, including, but not limited to, the creation of learning objectives, the four preceptor roles employed in practice-based teaching (direct instruction, modeling, coaching and facilitation), evaluation and feedback.
During this learning experience, the resident will also ensure the completion of one ASHP Leadership Certificate program. The resident can choose ASHP Pharmacy Leadership Management Basics or ASHP Pharmacy Leadership Certificate Beyond the Basics for Advancing Managers. The Pharmacy Resident will also attend an Onvida A3 Leadership training live workshop to develop their leadership and innovation skills.
The PGY1 Ambulatory Orientation is a 3-week Learning Experience for the resident to begin to learn the workflow and role of the resident and pharmacists in the following Onvida Ambulatory Care settings: The Anticoagulation Pharmacy Clinic, Family Medicine GME Clinic, and Transitions of Care Nursing Clinic.
The Infectious Disease (ID) learning experience is a 6-week required learning experience at Onvida Health: Yuma Medical Center. Residents will review and build upon their antimicrobial and disease-state knowledge. Resident responsibilities include: (1) identifying, evaluating, and resolving drug therapy problems; (2) communicating recommendations to the appropriate healthcare provider; (3) recommending or implementing a follow-up/monitoring plan; (4) and when necessary, appropriately documenting in the patient’s chart and/or clinical pharmacy consult records.
Residents will expand their pharmacotherapy knowledge through participation in topic discussions, literature search, review of evidence-based guidelines, and review of patient cases. Residents may be assigned additional projects during the learning experience that will supplement their knowledge and improve medication use in the hospital.
Longitudinal Learning Experiences – PGY1
The year long staffing residency Learning Experience is a longitudinal required learning experience at Onvida Health. It is broken down into four quarterly evaluation periods. Each resident will be assigned to work either every Sábado or every Domingo in the Inpatient Pharmacy.. This Learning Experience teaches practical aspects of pharmaceutical care and drug distribution in the hospital setting. The purpose of working as a staff pharmacist is to gain experience and improve skills in the medication use process. Understanding the process is part of leadership in the profession. Pharmacists must have a thorough understanding of the medication ordering/delivery system utilized by the institution to be completely successful. Residents will work with both the unit-dose and IV admixture systems. There will always be a preceptor available to assist the resident with any questions that arise during evenings and weekends. Residents should never hesitate to contact any of the pharmacists that they are working with to discuss patient-specific drug-related problems. Any time a pharmacy resident rotates through a decentralized shift, he/she is expected to maintain his/her presence on the nursing patient care unit as much as possible to build rapport between the pharmacy departments as well as other clinical disciplines.
Se trata de una experiencia longitudinal de un año de duración que se completará durante el transcurso de la residencia e incluirá la realización de una Evaluación del Uso de Medicamentos (EMM) y un proyecto de investigación. Se seguirán los procesos adecuados (por ejemplo, solicitar la aprobación de la Junta de Revisión Institucional (IRB)) cuando sea necesario. La MUE se presentará en formato póster en la Reunión Clínica de Medio Año de la Sociedad Americana de Farmacéuticos del Sistema de Salud (ASHP). El proyecto de investigación se presentará como una presentación de plataforma en la Conferencia de los Estados Occidentales. Antes de finalizar la residencia, se redactará un manuscrito apto para su publicación en el que se explique la investigación del residente.
El equipo de cuidados transitorios se centra en la gestión de cuidados crónicos, la coordinación de cuidados y los recursos educativos para enfermedades y afecciones crónicas. Esta área de práctica cuenta con enfermeros y asistentes médicos para pacientes con anemia, EPOC, ICC, diabetes, infarto de miocardio, enfermedades hepáticas, neumonía y cuidados tras una operación a corazón abierto. Los farmacéuticos y los residentes de farmacia ayudarán al equipo clínico realizando una revisión exhaustiva de la medicación de cada paciente. Los farmacéuticos y los residentes revisarán cada lista de medicación en busca de medicamentos de venta libre, vitaminas, suplementos y medicamentos con receta, y explicarán al paciente la finalidad y los beneficios del uso de los productos. Se trata de una rotación anual.
The Family Medicine is a yearlong longitudinal learning experience that will occur every third Miércoles. This learning experience allows the resident to be directly involved in the care of patients in the Onvida Health Family Medicine Clinic. As part of this learning experience, the resident will be asked to evaluate patients for medication adherence, drug-drug interactions (DDI), duplication of therapy, efficacy of drug therapy as well as other aspects of the patient as a whole. The resident will be expected to apply and make recommendations supported by nationally recognized guidelines and be able to individualize treatment for patients.
The anticoagulation learning experience is a yearlong longitudinal required experience for all PGY1 residents at Onvida Health. Each resident is required to staff the Onvida Health Anticoagulation Kachina Medical Plaza (ACC) once every three weeks on a Miércoles. This rotation teaches direct patient care in an ambulatory setting that is managed entirely by pharmacists. Residents will gain experience with medication therapy management for patients taking warfarin as well as in performing monitoring activities to assess efficacy and potential toxicity of warfarin therapy. Residents will learn how to effectively communicate with patients and refine their interviewing/counseling skills. Residents will be able to apply their pharmaceutical expertise by responding appropriately to drug information questions from patients and other providers. Residents will also become proficient at documenting patient care activities in EPIC according to the Onvida Health anticoagulation guidelines and protocol. Residents will always have an anticoagulation pharmacist staff member in the adjacent office who will be available for consultation and feedback as needed.
