FAQs
Patient first is the primary reason a residency was started at LMH Health – to raise the level of care
pharmacists provide to our patients. Residents get to spend a majority of their learning experience at
the patient bedside performing medication histories, patient & caregiver education, discharge
counseling and much more!
This program offers numerous teaching, precepting & mentoring opportunities!
Didactic Lectures & Skills Lab (University of Kansas School of Pharmacy)
IPPE/APPE Precepting (University of Kansas School of Pharmacy)
Teaching Certificate Program (UMKC School of Pharmacy)
Mentor and precept employed interns in the LMH Health Clinical Intern Program (20 interns)
Residents share a dedicated office located in the pharmacy department. The residency program director
has an open door policy next to the resident office.
The staffing schedule is every 3rd weekend (8 hours on Saturday & Sunday) and one evening
per week from 5 to 9 PM.
Each resident works one minor holiday (New Year’s Day or Memorial Day) and one major holiday
(Thanksgiving & Christmas).
Residents receive 23 days of PTO, Insurance (Health, Dental, Vision), Flexible Spending
Account, Discounts for local and national retailers. Residents do NOT qualify for extended
leave (FMLA).
Each resident has the opportunity to participate in one of two international learning experiences in
Africa or Thailand (pending availability). Please note the resident’s travel expenses are not paid by or
reimbursed by LMH Health.
The residency program supports resident travel to the following external events:
Greater-Kansas City Society of Health-System Pharmacists Resident Research Day in KC
ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting in Las Vegas, NV
Kansas Council of Health-System Pharmacy (KCHP) Annual Spring Meeting in KC
Midwest Pharmacy Resident’s Conference (MPRC)
The development of pharmacy residents into future leaders is an important element of this program;
therefore, resident involvement in ACCP, ASHP and KCHP are financially supported by the program.
LMH Health is unable to sponsor student VISAs at this time.

“The excitement of completing an LMH Health pharmacy residency is a wonderful feeling that I cannot
completely describe. I have grown more confident professionally and personally thanks to the many
experiences gained during the year. I enjoyed working in the multiple interdisciplinary teams, as well as having
the opportunity to interact with patients. The relationship that I was able to establish with providers outside of
clinical rounds is enjoyable, as well as interacting with the interns. Residency is not easy, especially when you are
far away from family members; however, the pharmacists made me feel welcome and part of their family. To any
applicant, enjoy your residency year and take pictures of your journey, so when you look back, you can feel
proud that you have walked that journey.”

Learning Experiences
Orientation (Required) 3rd or 4th week of June – 2 days for LMH Health New Employee Orientation
Pharmacy orientation starts in July. Orientation is intended to introduce the resident to LMH
Health and the department of Pharmacy. The orientation block will capture most, but not all
training including: computer-based order entry, bar-code scanning, electronic health record,
documentation, primary dispensing, IV admixtures, automated dispensing cabinets, ordering,
packaging, storage, distribution and controlled substance processes. Each resident will be
introduced to the pharmacist code response training with an emphasis on code cart navigation, BLS
and ACLS. The remainder of orientation will expose the residents to the responsibilities of
pharmacy clinical services throughout the Health-System.
Internal Medicine (Required) Internal Medicine is typically the first or second learning experience of the residency. The
responsibilities of the resident include all aspects of patient care (medication histories, review of
patient profiles, monitoring and managing medications, managing chronic conditions, consults,
drug information, patient counseling and health care professional education. Each resident learns
how to navigate among the patient care team (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants,
respiratory therapist, nurse, social worker and outside health care professionals) to manage their
medications across the healthcare continuum.
Medical-Surgical (Required) Medical-Surgical is the other learning experience that is scheduled in the first two months of the
residency. This experience involves the items described in internal medicine with an emphasis on
post-operative care for the following surgical teams: orthopedics, spine care, general surgery, and
gynecological surgery. Other specific patient populations during this experience include:
oncology, pediatrics, and obstetrics. The residents will also gain experience leading LMH Health
Joint Class, a class to teach patients about knee and hip arthroplasties. The residents also have the
opportunity to coordinate pre-operative medication histories for patients attending Joint Class as
well as Spine Class, an educational session to teach patients about spinal fusion and laminectomy
procedures. The topic discussions in this experience typically focus on anticoagulation in the
perioperative period, total parenteral nutrition and pain management; however, discussions
typically expand based on the patient population at the time of the rotation.
Patient First | Better Together | Speak Up | Be Bold | Own It | In Joy Page 16
Critical Care (Required This learning experience focuses on the pathophysiology, treatment and prevention of disease
states and complications encountered in critical care. At the end of this rotation, residents should
understand respiratory failure, ventilation and hemodynamic support, acute myocardial infarction,
stroke and common toxicology treatment pathways. The residents will actively participate in ICU
rounds, closely monitor safety and efficacy of treatment plans, participate in discussions of critical
care topics with preceptors and/or pulmonologist, provide drug information to the healthcare
team, prepare and present one nursing in-service.
Oncology (Required) The Oncology Center at LMH Health is an ambulatory care clinic with five
hematologists/oncologists, one ARNP, eighteen nurses and fifteen treatment rooms. The Oncology
Satellite Pharmacy is staffed Monday through Friday by two pharmacists and two technicians. The
pharmacy primarily provides outpatient chemotherapy and supportive medications, but does
oversee the limited amount of inpatient chemotherapy as well. Additional responsibilities include
drug information for patients and staff, patient education, investigational drug inventory
maintenance and oncology specific formulary review.
Long-Term Care “Skilled Nursing Facility & Acute Rehab” (Required) The responsibilities for this experience are similar to internal medicine with an emphasis on chronic
disease management and transitions of care. The patients on this unit typically stay for greater
than one week and are often transferred to and from other healthcare facilities. The patients and
their caregivers appreciate the support of a pharmacist to assist with education and navigation
across continuums of care. In this rotation, the residents are exposed to the pharmacist’s
responsibility for meeting state regulatory requirements for skilled nursing facilities and acute
rehabilitation centers. Based on resident interest, this rotation also provides the opportunity to
round with the pain and palliative care team.
Emergency Medicine (Required) Pharmacists deliver patient care in the emergency department from 6AM to 11PM, 7 days per
week. This is covered by one 8-hour shift and one 12-hour shift. The resident learning experience
is customized based on the interest level of the resident. Residents will work with emergency room
nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants as well as first responders, respiratory
therapists and social work. This experience emphasizes code blue response, medication evaluation
team events, code stroke, code STEMI and code trauma. Patients with complicated medication
issues or those to be admitted receive a pharmacist consult for medication history and
comprehensive medication review. Medication education and patient assistance will be provided
to patients discharged home from the emergency department.
Patient First | Better Together | Speak Up | Be Bold | Own It | In Joy Page 17
Infectious Disease (Elective) Residents may complete this experience after successful completion of Internal Medicine and
Medical-Surgical. The resident will round one-on-one with an infectious disease specialist on
consulted inpatient cases. Based on interest, the resident may set-up time to shadow in the
outpatient clinic as well. The resident will attempt to optimize the use of evidence-based medicine
in the treatment of consulted patients, respond to drug information requests, and deliver
exceptional education to patients and their caregivers. In addition to patient care, residents may
tour the microbiology lab and consult with the microbiologist or pathologist as applicable.
Cardiology (Elective) This rotation is available in the 2nd half of the residency. Residents have the opportunity to round
one-on-one with the inpatient cardiologist and his or her cardiology nurse, participate in
outpatient clinic appointments with a clinic cardiologist, provide education as consulted by staff in
Cardiac Rehabilitation and observe cases in the Cardiac Cath Lab. This experience helps the
resident focus on cardiac related medication treatment plus understand the experience of
cardiology patients as they move through the process of diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of
various cardiac related conditions.
International Experience in Kenya, Africa (Elective) This learning experience involves collaboration with the “Kansas 2 Kenya” Medical Mission Team
and Faculty at the University Of Nairobi School Of Pharmacy. The residents work with a team of
physicians, nurses, pharmacists and support staff to plan a 10+ day trip with 3-5 clinic days.
Professional roles and responsibilities vary from year to year. Residents educate the team on travel
vaccinations and assist with procurement and transportation of medications for the mission.
Exposure to various Sub-Sahara tropical disease including malaria, cholera, AIDs, tuberculosis,
helminthes, pulmonary diseases and irritant eye disease including trachoma are reviewed for this
learning experience. Educational programming for the University Of Nairobi School Of Pharmacy
varies with topics consistently involving the pharmacist’s role in vaccinations, advancement of
pharmacy services and leadership.
International Experience in Khon Kaen, Thailand (Elective) LMH Health Pharmacy has a formal educational agreement with the Faculty of Pharmaceutical
Sciences at Khon Kaen University (KKU) in Khon Kaen, Thailand. Pharmacy residents have the
opportunity to complete a 4-week learning experience, primarily in the area of oncology and
academia with a board-certified oncology pharmacy faculty member. The KKU Pharmacy Practice
Department has an active residency program of its own and affords the resident a unique
perspective on how pharmacy is practiced abroad while interacting with pharmacy peers.
Pharmacy students from KKU travel to LMH Health as well in the fall semester providing
opportunity for the residents to precept international students.
