Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital is a bustling 426-bed, Level 3 Trauma, Community Hospital located in St. Louis Park, a first ring suburb of Minneapolis, MN. Methodist Hospital is recognized as an area leader in cancer care, cardiovascular services, infectious disease/antimicrobial stewardship, anticoagulation and neuro-rehabilitation medicine. Our hospital cares for over 30,000 patients a year and our emergency medicine department sees over 50,000 patients in the EC annually.
As an ASHP accredited program, our PGY-1 pharmacy residency program builds on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education to develop clinical pharmacists who are well positioned for board certification and/or postgraduate year two (PGY-2) pharmacy residency training. Our program is strong in infectious disease, emergency medicine, cardiology, oncology, critical care, internal medicine, and learner education/precepting. We are also able to offer a teaching certificate, publication opportunities, and academic teaching opportunities at the University of Minnesota for those who are interested.
The goal of our residency program is to train, support, mentor, and develop pharmacist practitioners able to deliver high-quality patient-centered care in a variety of hospital settings, provide leadership to the profession, and be role models for those who follow. Residents work directly with pharmacist preceptors, patients, and various health care professionals to promote patient safety and improve outcomes through effective, efficient, appropriate, safe, and cost-effective medication use. Our teaching philosophy focuses on understanding pharmacodynamic principles as a basis for drug therapy, the development of communication skills that take into consideration health care literacy, and the ability to interpret, react to and initiate change when appropriate.
