completing a service project, a medication use evaluation, and a manuscript, as well as give several formal
presentations. The non-traditional resident will have the same funding to travel to national, regional or state
meetings to present their research work.
The program is intended for practicing pharmacists to further develop their clinical skills, offer advancement
opportunities to employees, and invest in the ongoing professional development of the staff of MUSC
Medical Center Department of Pharmacy Services.
I would like to thank all the residency program directors, coordinators, managers and preceptors that have
brought this opportunity to fruition; especially Dr. Joel Melroy. Their hard work allows us to keep
advancing the practice of pharmacy.
I am excited to announce that the MUSC Pharmacy Residency Program
was awarded the ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Residency Expansion Grant!
With this grant, MUSC will now offer our first position for a non-
traditional residency program to a practicing pharmacist. The program is a
PGY1 residency experience offered over a 2-year time period. The non-
traditional resident will alternate between clinical rotations and working in
the inpatient pharmacy as a clinical pharmacist each month. The resident
will be responsible for completing all requirements of our traditional PGY1
residency program including participating in the on-call service,

Written by Laura Beth Parsons
Each fall, the MUSC pharmacy
residents spend a full day getting to
know each other and learning to work
as a team. This year the residents
participated in a team building day in
downtown Charleston. The day started
with a historical scavenger hunt
followed by lunch and afternoon group
activities. The day gave residents the
opportunity to interact with each other
in a fun environment while
strengthening communication and
leadership skills.
Residents met at the Brass Pirate and
competed in a group scavenger hunt.
The residents were divided into 4
teams, and each team was given a
treasure map. The map contained clues
about historical buildings and events
throughout downtown Charleston. To
successfully complete the scavenger
hunt, residents had to work together to
find each location and answer the
questions appropriately. Winners were
determined by the accuracy of their
answers and speed of completion.

During National Pharmacy Week, MUSC
residents hosted a visit from Emory Healthcare
residents and preceptors. The visit gave both
programs the opportunity to share ideas about
their pharmacy practice models and differences
within the healthcare systems. Residents were
also able to learn more about the varying
requirements and distinctions between both
programs.
The visit started with a brief informational
session led by Dr. Carolyn Bondarenka, Dr.
Jean Nappi, and Dr. Heather Easterling. This
presentation provided information
encompassing the residency program, academia,
and administrative sides of pharmacy, and
allowed the visiting residents the opportunity to
see firsthand the diversity within our residency
program. Following the session, residents from
both programs met for lunch to get to know
each other a little better, and then attended
MUSC’s Resident Interactive Teaching
Experience (RITE). Dr. Carmelina Staino gave
an excellent presentation on the pharmacist’s
Following the scavenger hunt, the
residents went to a nearby location
for a BBQ lunch and teambuilding
activities led by the chief residents.
For the first activity, residents were
assigned a partner and filled out a
fun questionnaire about hidden
talents, interesting facts, and other
fun icebreaker questions. Each pair
then shared something that they had
learned during the questionnaire
session. Following this, residents
completed other fun
activities that required
everyone to work
together.
Residents felt that a
teambuilding day was a
great way to learn more
about each other and
historical Charleston while developing our teamwork
skills. The relaxed environment gave residents the
opportunity to get to know the residents in the different
programs or work in the opposite office. Overall, the
day was a great success and helped to strengthen the
bond of the entire residency class.
role in managing systemic lupus erythematosus.
After RITE, the Emory team had a more detailed
question and answer session with the program
directors and chief residents. This discussion
allowed for a better understanding of the varying
practice models, differences in the on-call
structure, and leadership opportunities within the
residency class.
The interaction between the two residency
programs provided insight on the challenges
facing pharmacy today. Both programs shared
their approaches to integrating clinical
pharmacists and clinical specialists, as well as
the practice opportunities for pharmacy
residents.
These visits are a great opportunity for
MUSC residents to spend time with
outside peers and hear how other
residents are accomplishing their goals.
Overall, the visit was a successful way
to network with an outside healthcare
system and share knowledge to better
both programs.
