FAQs

Patient first is the primary reason a residency was started at LMH Health – to raise the level of care

pharmacists provide to our patients. Residents get to spend a majority of their learning experience at

the patient bedside performing medication histories, patient & caregiver education, discharge

counseling and much more!

This program offers numerous teaching, precepting & mentoring opportunities!

“The excitement of completing an LMH Health pharmacy residency is a wonderful feeling that I cannot

completely describe. I have grown more confident professionally and personally thanks to the many

experiences gained during the year. I enjoyed working in the multiple interdisciplinary teams, as well as having

the opportunity to interact with patients. The relationship that I was able to establish with providers outside of

clinical rounds is enjoyable, as well as interacting with the interns. Residency is not easy, especially when you are

far away from family members; however, the pharmacists made me feel welcome and part of their family. To any

applicant, enjoy your residency year and take pictures of your journey, so when you look back, you can feel

proud that you have walked that journey.”

Learning Experiences

Orientation (Required) 3rd or 4th week of June – 2 days for LMH Health New Employee Orientation

Pharmacy orientation starts in July. Orientation is intended to introduce the resident to LMH

Health and the department of Pharmacy. The orientation block will capture most, but not all

training including: computer-based order entry, bar-code scanning, electronic health record,

documentation, primary dispensing, IV admixtures, automated dispensing cabinets, ordering,

packaging, storage, distribution and controlled substance processes. Each resident will be

introduced to the pharmacist code response training with an emphasis on code cart navigation, BLS

and ACLS. The remainder of orientation will expose the residents to the responsibilities of

pharmacy clinical services throughout the Health-System.

Internal Medicine (Required) Internal Medicine is typically the first or second learning experience of the residency. The

responsibilities of the resident include all aspects of patient care (medication histories, review of

patient profiles, monitoring and managing medications, managing chronic conditions, consults,

drug information, patient counseling and health care professional education. Each resident learns

how to navigate among the patient care team (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants,

respiratory therapist, nurse, social worker and outside health care professionals) to manage their

medications across the healthcare continuum.

Medical-Surgical (Required) Medical-Surgical is the other learning experience that is scheduled in the first two months of the

residency. This experience involves the items described in internal medicine with an emphasis on

post-operative care for the following surgical teams: orthopedics, spine care, general surgery, and

gynecological surgery. Other specific patient populations during this experience include:

oncology, pediatrics, and obstetrics. The residents will also gain experience leading LMH Health

Joint Class, a class to teach patients about knee and hip arthroplasties. The residents also have the

opportunity to coordinate pre-operative medication histories for patients attending Joint Class as

well as Spine Class, an educational session to teach patients about spinal fusion and laminectomy

procedures. The topic discussions in this experience typically focus on anticoagulation in the

perioperative period, total parenteral nutrition and pain management; however, discussions

typically expand based on the patient population at the time of the rotation.


Critical Care (Required This learning experience focuses on the pathophysiology, treatment and prevention of disease

states and complications encountered in critical care. At the end of this rotation, residents should

understand respiratory failure, ventilation and hemodynamic support, acute myocardial infarction,

stroke and common toxicology treatment pathways. The residents will actively participate in ICU

rounds, closely monitor safety and efficacy of treatment plans, participate in discussions of critical

care topics with preceptors and/or pulmonologist, provide drug information to the healthcare

team, prepare and present one nursing in-service.

Oncology (Required) The Oncology Center at LMH Health is an ambulatory care clinic with five

hematologists/oncologists, one ARNP, eighteen nurses and fifteen treatment rooms. The Oncology

Satellite Pharmacy is staffed Monday through Friday by two pharmacists and two technicians. The

pharmacy primarily provides outpatient chemotherapy and supportive medications, but does

oversee the limited amount of inpatient chemotherapy as well. Additional responsibilities include

drug information for patients and staff, patient education, investigational drug inventory

maintenance and oncology specific formulary review.

Long-Term Care “Skilled Nursing Facility & Acute Rehab” (Required) The responsibilities for this experience are similar to internal medicine with an emphasis on chronic

disease management and transitions of care. The patients on this unit typically stay for greater

than one week and are often transferred to and from other healthcare facilities. The patients and

their caregivers appreciate the support of a pharmacist to assist with education and navigation

across continuums of care. In this rotation, the residents are exposed to the pharmacist’s

responsibility for meeting state regulatory requirements for skilled nursing facilities and acute

rehabilitation centers. Based on resident interest, this rotation also provides the opportunity to

round with the pain and palliative care team.

Emergency Medicine (Required) Pharmacists deliver patient care in the emergency department from 6AM to 11PM, 7 days per

week. This is covered by one 8-hour shift and one 12-hour shift. The resident learning experience

is customized based on the interest level of the resident. Residents will work with emergency room

nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants as well as first responders, respiratory

therapists and social work. This experience emphasizes code blue response, medication evaluation

team events, code stroke, code STEMI and code trauma. Patients with complicated medication

issues or those to be admitted receive a pharmacist consult for medication history and

comprehensive medication review. Medication education and patient assistance will be provided

to patients discharged home from the emergency department.


Infectious Disease (Elective) Residents may complete this experience after successful completion of Internal Medicine and

Medical-Surgical. The resident will round one-on-one with an infectious disease specialist on

consulted inpatient cases. Based on interest, the resident may set-up time to shadow in the

outpatient clinic as well. The resident will attempt to optimize the use of evidence-based medicine

in the treatment of consulted patients, respond to drug information requests, and deliver

exceptional education to patients and their caregivers. In addition to patient care, residents may

tour the microbiology lab and consult with the microbiologist or pathologist as applicable.

Cardiology (Elective) This rotation is available in the 2nd half of the residency. Residents have the opportunity to round

one-on-one with the inpatient cardiologist and his or her cardiology nurse, participate in

outpatient clinic appointments with a clinic cardiologist, provide education as consulted by staff in

Cardiac Rehabilitation and observe cases in the Cardiac Cath Lab. This experience helps the

resident focus on cardiac related medication treatment plus understand the experience of

cardiology patients as they move through the process of diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of

various cardiac related conditions.

International Experience in Kenya, Africa (Elective) This learning experience involves collaboration with the “Kansas 2 Kenya” Medical Mission Team

and Faculty at the University Of Nairobi School Of Pharmacy. The residents work with a team of

physicians, nurses, pharmacists and support staff to plan a 10+ day trip with 3-5 clinic days.

Professional roles and responsibilities vary from year to year. Residents educate the team on travel

vaccinations and assist with procurement and transportation of medications for the mission.

Exposure to various Sub-Sahara tropical disease including malaria, cholera, AIDs, tuberculosis,

helminthes, pulmonary diseases and irritant eye disease including trachoma are reviewed for this

learning experience. Educational programming for the University Of Nairobi School Of Pharmacy

varies with topics consistently involving the pharmacist’s role in vaccinations, advancement of

pharmacy services and leadership.

International Experience in Khon Kaen, Thailand (Elective) LMH Health Pharmacy has a formal educational agreement with the Faculty of Pharmaceutical

Sciences at Khon Kaen University (KKU) in Khon Kaen, Thailand. Pharmacy residents have the

opportunity to complete a 4-week learning experience, primarily in the area of oncology and

academia with a board-certified oncology pharmacy faculty member. The KKU Pharmacy Practice

Department has an active residency program of its own and affords the resident a unique

perspective on how pharmacy is practiced abroad while interacting with pharmacy peers.

Pharmacy students from KKU travel to LMH Health as well in the fall semester providing

opportunity for the residents to precept international students.


Teaching Certificate (Longitudinal – Required) Residents participate in the UMKC Residency Teaching Certificate Program. A variety of teaching

and mentoring opportunities are available including:

Didactic lectures at University of Kansas School Of Pharmacy (KU SoP)

Facilitation of skills lab or clinical assessment course

Precepting IPPE and APPE students from KU SoP

Mentor of employed clinical interns at LMH Health

Educational presentations to various disciplines at LMH Health

Educational events for the community

Medication Safety & Clinical Coordination (Longitudinal – Required) Residents contribute to the improvement of the medication use process throughout the year.

Responsibilities vary from year to year based on the needs or Strategic Plan of the Health-System.

Residents are active members on the following LMH Health committees:

Medication Use Team (A Focus on Improving Medication Safety across the Health-System)

Antimicrobial Stewardship

Pharmacy & Therapeutics

Pharmacy Management & Leadership (Longitudinal – Required) Residents gain an appreciation for the importance of pharmacy management and leadership.

Through a series of readings, interactions with the preceptor and assignments, the resident

understand the pharmacy’s role in the Health-System, including budget preparation of a selected

line item of the pharmacy budget. Residents will be involved in human resource issues including

recruiting, hiring, firing, mentoring, employee evaluations and disciplinary action. Pharmacy

presence at meetings both as a member and a leader will be emphasized.

Main Rx (Longitudinal - Required) Residents staff in the inpatient pharmacy one evening per week and every 3rd weekend. The

residents gain an understanding of all pharmacy operations. The inpatient pharmacy is the hub for

all drug information questions for LMH Health and the community; therefore, providing a broad

learning experience for the residents. In addition to services for inpatients, the pharmacy services

the two infusion clinics who treat patients with a variety of disease states requiring specialty

infusions or outpatient antibiotics.


Ambulatory Care (Longitudinal – Required) <<Insert Updated learning experience description here)

Anticoagulation Clinic – ½ day per week for 6 months

LMH Health Clinic – ½ day per week for 6 months

Quality Improvement Projects (Longitudinal – Required) Residents complete one major and one minor project to advance the clinical or operational aspects

of patient care. Residents serve as project managers who receive support and oversight from

preceptors. The primary purpose of this experience is for each resident to gain experience in the

development, coordination, implementation, analysis, sustainability and presentation of Health-

System based projects. All residents are encouraged to submit their projects for publication;

however, publication is not required to obtain the residency certificate.

Minor Project – Presented at ASHP Midyear

Major Project – Presented at Midwest Pharmacy Residency Conference

Either project may be presented at the KCHP Annual Spring Meeting. Residents may elect to

provide a platform presentation at KCHP as a substitute to the poster presentation.

Customized Residency Learning Experience (Elective) “The ASHP PGY1 residency accreditation standard defines residency customization as the essential

process by which the “generic plan” for resident training is restructured to optimize resident

experiences based on specific “strengths, weaknesses, and interests.” AJHP Vol 70 Jun 15,2013

Other customized-elective learning experiences may be designed upon the request of the resident

with approval of the Residency Advisory Council (RAC).
