Goals and objectives
The PGY1 and PGY2 combined residency in Medication Systems and Operations Administration and Leadership (MSOAL) at UW Health is designed to develop experts of operational and project management. With this expertise, a pharmacist graduating from this program will seek positions in project management, daily pharmacy operations management, medication safety or informatics. Residents gain a comprehensive understanding of the medication-use system and the daily operations that occur within a hybrid drug distribution model. The program’s primary objective is to mature pharmacists with the ability to effectively manage and oversee the distributive, technical and clinical aspects of the supply chain and medication use system.
Projects
- Two major, longitudinal projects will be completed over the course of the two-year program
- Rotation projects as determined by rotation preceptors
