Meet the Director and Team — Critical Care Pharmacy Residency Program at St. Vincent Medical Center
Welcome from the Program Director
Thank you for your interest in the PGY 2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency
Program at Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center (MHSVMC). Our site has a
long history as the critical care regional referral and teaching center
within the Bon Secours Mercy Health system, a faith-based system spanning
seven states. Advantages of working in a larger hospital system include
opportunities for a wide variety of rotations and a chance to participate in
system-wide drug policy development.
The pharmacy department at MHSVMC serves a diverse patient population as a
Level I Trauma Center, regional burn referral center, a Comprehensive Stroke
Center and a children's hospital onsite. In addition to the PGY2
Critical Care program, we also offer a PGY2 in ambulatory care as well a
PGY1 program. Preceptors are actively engaged in helping each resident
meet their full potential based on their specific areas of interest.
Emphasis is placed on evidence-based medicine, leadership, and patient
safety.
Other unique program aspects include a teaching program in collaboration
with the University of Findlay College of Pharmacy and certifications in
adult as well as pediatric advanced cardiac life support. Please explore the
website to learn more about our program. We look forward to the possibility
of meeting and working with you in the future.
