We have pharmacists embedded in ambulatory care areas throughout the organization. This allows for customization of experiences according to resident priorities. We train our residents to practice at the level of our pharmacists and build confidence and competence in service development and enhancement. Our established relationship with the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy and required precepting experiences allow for teaching opportunities throughout the residency year.
