The programs are developed to allow residents a great deal of self-direction, individualize their schedule, and maximize opportunities to explore particular areas of interest. We offer opportunities to participate in active pharmacy practice in a number of clinical settings, including our extensive ambulatory care clinics. Additionally, being close to both Oregon Health & Science University Hospital and the College of Pharmacy allows the resident to choose from a variety of electives, such as research, women's health, and academic teaching. Our pharmacists serve as valuable members of the health care team, are committed to the profession of pharmacy, and demonstrate great leadership and mentoring skills.
All materials must be submitted to PhORCAS (Pharmacy Online Residency Centralized Application Service). Our interview process typically runs approximately 4-6 hours and will include several small group interviews with various preceptors in Portland, a meeting with the Director of Pharmacy, and a tour of the site.
***Due to COVID-19 we are not currently offering in-person interviews, all interviews will be conducted virtually***
We hope you will decide to join us for your residency year in Portland! Thank you for your interest in the VA Portland Health Care System and we look forward to receiving your application!
