Overview

Residency training is a vital component of our departmental strategic plan. It is critical to develop and sustain the pharmacy practice model of the future. Cleveland Clinic, a world class institution with the best pharmacy technology and systems in the country, employs some of the finest residency preceptors committed to the education of residents.

Our residency program has been active for over 25 years producing well trained pharmacists who are able to practice at the top of their license. We have developed a broad variety of generalist and specialized residencies to meet our patient needs. Training and hiring our residency graduates to advance our practice model to a comprehensive patient focused model is a top priority for Cleveland Clinic's Department of Pharmacy.
