Rotations and Preceptors
The residency year is composed of a well-balanced combination of direct and indirect patient care rotations. The first rotation, introduction to hospital pharmacy practice (6-weeks), is designed to give the resident a strong foundation in clinical and operational pharmacy services. There are a total of 11 additional month long rotations.

The residency program partners with the Wayne State University Pharmacy Resident Teaching Certificate Program. The resident also gains teaching experience by directly precepting I-PPE students from Wayne State University for a semester, as well as mentoring A-PPE students through a layered learning model during rotations.
Research
The resident will conduct a Medication Utilization Evaluation (MUE) and a major research project. MUE results have historically been presented as a poster presentation at the ASHP Midyear Conference and major research results have historically been presented at a regional residency conference such as OPRC. The resident is required to provide a manuscript of research results suitable for publication.
