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.

E M O R Y R E S I D E N C Y V I S I T

Written by Laura Beth Parsons

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.
