In this workshop, attendees will review strategies to apply accreditation standards for the design and conduct of a pharmacy residency program, including requirements related to program purpose, competency areas, goals and objectives, program structure, learning experiences, orientation, use of preceptor roles, evaluation, resident development plans, and continuous residency program improvement. Attendees may bring materials from their program for review during the workshop. Take advantage of the opportunity to get your questions answered by residency accreditation surveyors and share ideas for meeting the accreditation requirements. Join this highly interactive workshop that brings great content updates, updated scenarios and lively questioning (either live or using Slido) to help make your pharmacy residency program the best it can be!
