Research
Residents are required to complete a research project in a pharmacy related topic. The resident will have the opportunity to complete Institutional Review Board training and write and submit a research protocol to the IRB. The research project will entail several months of work culminating with the creation of a manuscript suitable for publication. The resident will present the proposal for research at the Ohio College of Clinical Pharmacists and selected Residency conference.
Each resident is required to complete one major project relating to a specific aspect of pharmacy practice. The project may be: original research, quality research, development or enhancement of pharmacy services. The resident must adhere to the approved timeline for research to insure ultimate success. Final research results will be presented at a Residency Conference and/or appropriate national meeting.
