As a resident in the PGY-2 Pharmacy Residency in Ambulatory Care at Mayo Clinic Health System – Eau Claire, you will have an opportunity to master the skills necessary to provide comprehensive medication management, collaborate effectively with healthcare team members and develop and maintain an ambulatory care practice.
Our program’s curriculum follows the Mayo Clinic core priorities of research, education, and patient care that are consistent with our primary value, "The needs of the patient come first." You will apply this value by providing individualized patient care and managing chronic conditions longitudinally. Your experience in our clinic-based ambulatory care practice will be supported by the resources of a large academic medical center.
