Hines Pharmacy Practice Residency is ASHP
accredited and was established in 1999. While the residency program requires
core pharmacy practice components, it also allows for flexibility in order for
the resident to gear the program toward his/her interests. The resident will be
working with pharmacists both within the outpatient and inpatient pharmacies as
well as in clinics and on the hospital floors. By combining direct clinical
services with staffing responsibilities, the resident will experience a more
complete picture of pharmacy practice.
As you explore this website, we hope you find that this residency program
will provide you with a comprehensive, well-rounded experience that will build a
