Pharmacy Resident

• Ferris State University

The Walgreens and Ferris State University College of Pharmacy PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency aims to develop advanced community pharmacists who will provide direct patient care to a variety of patient populations, collaborate with other healthcare professions to optimize patient outcomes, and incorporate patient care activities into daily workflow of a community pharmacy. This residency experience is based out of Walgreen's Medication Therapy Management (MTM) hub located within a Grand Rapids Walgreens.
