Introduction: As the health-care system evolves and shifts to value-based payment systems, there is a recognized need to increase the number of ambulatory care trained pharmacists. Objective: The objective of this article is to describe the administrative structure of the University of Minnesota Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency program and to encourage adoption of similar models nationally in order to expand ambulatory care residency training opportunities and meet the demand for pharmacist practitioners. Program Structure: The University of Minnesota PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program is a multisite program centered on the practice of pharmaceutical care and provision of comprehensive medication management (CMM) services in ambulatory care settings. The centralized administration of a multisite academic-affiliated training model creates efficiency in the administration process, while allowing sites to focus on clinical training. This model also offers many innovative and unique opportunities to residents. Conclusion: A multisite university-affiliated ambulatory care residency training model provides efficiency in program administration, while successfully accelerating the growth of quality ambulatory care residency training and supporting innovative delivery of shared core learning experiences. Consequently, practice sites grow in their service delivery capacity and quality of care.

Abstract Purpose To describe the development of a collaborative community–academic postgraduate year 1 pharmacy residency program in San Diego that provides a hybrid experience of opportunities in community practice, ambulatory care, and teaching. Summary Residency training programs are being developed to better match the evolving role of the community pharmacist. In 2016, the University of California San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences partnered with Ralphs Pharmacy, a division of the Kroger Co., to launch a 1-year community residency to develop community-based pharmacists with diverse patient care, leadership, and education skills. Learning experiences include pharmacy operations, clinical services focusing on chronic disease management and education, teaching, and practice-based research. Training settings include community pharmacy, corporate pharmacy, ambulatory care, and academia. Graduates are prepared to work in these settings as well as capitalize on advanced training opportunities, including postgraduate year 2 residencies and professional certifications. The program has been successfully accredited, and graduates have completed the program: one completed a postgraduate year 2 residency, and both have obtained a management or clinical pharmacist position. Conclusion An innovative community—academic residency program preparing postgraduate year 1 learners for careers in community-based pharmacy, corporate, ambulatory care, and academic settings was developed, with positive preliminary outcomes.

This paper draws attention to the problem of attrition in a psychiatric residency program by reviewing the outcome of training of all physicians accepted for psychiatric residencies at the University of Toronto over a six-year period. Of the 142 physicians no longer in training, 71 have become certified psychiatrists. Factors associated with success in training are examined. Those residents who are highly unlikely to become certified psychiatrists could be identified in each of the first three years of training. In view of these findings recommendations are made for improved screening of candidates and for dealing with residents who experience difficulties in training.

Practice Development

The University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy's Ambulatory Care Residency Program has graduated 22 residents from its Leadership Emphasis program from 1999 to 2014. The Leadership Emphasis program is unique in its design, providing a set of experiences over two years focused on developing leadership skills in practice development, establishing personal influence, advocacy in the profession, and teaching. The program's design has focused on bringing value to three distinct audiences: pharmacists enrolled in the program, the local pharmacy practice community, and the College of Pharmacy. This paper explores the program's contributions in each of these areas. Program graduates from 1999-2009 were interviewed and cited the independent, yet mentored, activities of the program as instrumental to their professional and personal development. The program has provided significant value to the College of Pharmacy, primarily in the form of instructional support, service to faculty practice sites and development of new practice sites for APPEs. Teaching and precepting hours offset the salary of the residents, resulting in financial benefits for the College. In the second year of the program, residents pursue development of new practice sites, 15 of which have been sustained to provide at least a half-time pharmacist position, having a direct impact on pharmacy practice development in the region. The program provides a win-win-win situation for all the stakeholders involved. Schools and colleges of pharmacy are encouraged to consider whether a similar program may assist in achieving its own goals in practitioner development, teaching and learning, and community engagement.   Type: Clinical Experience

ABSTRACT Objectives: Our primary objective was to survey the graduates of one residency program with respect to anticipated versus actual medical practice. Methods: Using a modified Dillman technique, we surveyed all 83 physicians who had completed one year of residency training that led to certification of special competency in Emergency Medicine (CCFP-EM) at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) from 1982–2004. Respondents were asked what type of medicine they had thought they would practise before beginning their emergency medicine training. They were then asked to describe their employment from graduation to present time. Additional demographic information was collected. Correlation between demographic factors and other selected factors of influence upon career decisions was analyzed. Results: Our response rate was 87% (72/83), with 71% (51/72) respondents being male. At the start of their CCFP-EM residency training, 50% of respondents intended to practise emergency medicine exclusively and 47% intended to blend family and emergency medicine. For each of the respondents' first 4 positions of employment, the greatest percentage were practising emergency medicine only (ranging from 72% in position 1 to 53% in position 4), while the number engaging in a blended family/emergency medicine practice never exceeded 20%. No demographic factors surveyed had significant correlation with intended or actual practice. In all positions of employment, “type of practice” was ranked as the most influential factor in choosing that position. Conclusion: Most graduates of the UWO CCFP-EM program practise in emergency medicine only positions. Less than 20% are engaged in a blended family/emergency medicine practice. At training onset, one-half of the residents intended to practise emergency medicine exclusively. None of the demographic factors surveyed significantly correlated with intended or actual practice. Further examination of the practice patterns of all emergency medicine residency program graduates is an essential part of future planning for the specialty of Emergency Medicine in Canada.

Abstract:The development of an innovative clinical decision-support project such as the University of Minnesota’s Clinical Workstation initiative mandates the use of modern client-server network architectures. Preexisting conventional laboratory information systems (LIS) cannot be quickly replaced with client-server equivalents because of the cost and relative unavailability of such systems. Thus, embedding strategies that effectively integrate legacy information systems are needed. Our strategy led to the adoption of a multi-layered connection architecture that provides a data feed from our existing LIS to a new network-based relational database management system. By careful design, we maximize the use of open standards in our layered connection structure to provide data, requisition, or event messaging in several formats. Each layer is optimized to provide needed services to existing hospital clients and is well positioned to support future hospital network clients.
