Residency Goals
Pharmacists completing the St. Joseph Mercy Oakland (SJMO) residency program will be competent beyond that of an entry-level practitioner. They will be accountable for achieving the best possible drug therapy outcomes as members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team. They will be skillful educators of patients, health care professionals and the community. They will exemplify professionalism and leadership through example. These pharmacists will possess a passion and commitment to life long learning and self-awareness; their commitment to advancing pharmaceutical care and the pharmacy profession will be self-evident. The knowledge that these pharmacists gain will allow them to provide pharmaceutical care that is safe, cost-effective and provides value to the institution.
