Pharmacy Residency Training at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health has been actively involved in training clinical pharmacists across a variety of settings with well respected ASHP accredited programs in place since 1985.

Our programs strongly affirm a dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in an effort to improve health care for underserved and marginalized populations while enhancing our learning and professional work environments.

Within our organization, pharmacists truly practice at the top of their license with numerous collaborative practice protocols in both acute and ambulatory care settings. From actively assisting with procedural sedation and emergency medical scenarios to initiating and managing guideline-directed medication therapy for patients with heart failure, our pharmacists enjoy a progressive practice model within a highly supportive and progressive health system.

VMFH residency programs strive to develop a foundation of critical thinking and leadership skills that will promote continuous professional development and innovation in health care. Among our six different programs, experiences range from community hospital to academic medical center, specialty clinics to population health. In all settings, resident pharmacists are integral members of the interdisciplinary team.

As full-time employees, residents will receive a competitive stipend and generous benefit package to include medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for residents and their dependents; paid time off to be used as vacation, holiday, or sick leave; meal discounts; and the potential for education leave and funding.
