Clinical Experience
Josefs Pharmacy is a CPESN-affiliated pharmacy. The resident will spend a major portion of his/her time providing direct care and education to patients. Each resident will be expected to develop and implement additional clinical services, expand existing services at their primary practice site, and market these services. Residents will gain experience with additional patient populations through a one-month Ambulatory Care rotation as well as working with underserved patients at the Campbell University Community Care Clinic.
