Education

Pharmacists enrolled in an Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) Pharmacy Residency Program are required to complete various residency-related projects throughout the year.

Residents will be provided numerous opportunities to enhance their verbal and written communication skills in a variety of settings. Residents will provide both formal and informal presentations.

Formal Presentations

The required formal presentations include:

• Resident Seminar
• Research Project Proposal
• Journal Club
• Resident-Student Teaching Conference
• Pharmacist Continuing Education Program
• Eastern States practice sessions and final presentation

To more fully engage in quality improvement learning activities and to facilitate writing and literature evaluation skills, residents will complete both a formulary (or class) review and a medication-use evaluation. 

In addition, residents will prepare a manuscript of their research project suitable for contribution to a peer-reviewed journal.

Informal Presentations

Residents will also engage in several less formal case presentations and inservices throughout the year as determined by the rotation preceptors.
