Mission Statement:

We strive to prepare board-certified pharmacotherapy specialists with the skills needed to deliver comprehensive care in outpatient primary care and inpatient general medicine settings and effectively teach professional students and post-graduate trainees.

Program Description:

The Idaho State University Pharmacotherapy Residency is a two-year program jointly funded by the Departments of Pharmacy Practice and Family Medicine that provides clinical pharmacy services in both the inpatient and outpatient care settings. Pharmacotherapy residents participate in multidisciplinary rounds on the inpatient medicine service and work hand-in-hand with medical residents to provide therapeutic recommendations and improve patient outcomes. This residency is accredited with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
