Toledo Hospital Family Medicine Residency
Flower Hospital Family Medicine Residency
PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency
Toledo Hospital Family Medicine residency:
There has been a clinical pharmacist on faculty at the Family Medicine residency at
Toledo Hospital since the late 70’s. Originally a shared position with the pharmacy
department and University of Toledo College of Pharmacy, the position was moved fully
within the residency in 1995.
Flower Hospital Family Medicine residency:
Like the residency at Toledo Hospital, the Family Medicine residency at Flower Hospital
has been training Family Physicians since the mid 1970’s. In 1991, in response to the
faculty’s request, a pharmacist rounded one day per week and gave a monthly lecture. In
1992, a new pharmacist faculty position was created fully within the Family Medicine
residency.
The Pharmacy residency:
The pharmacy residency was started in 2002 as a joint effort between the Family
Medicine clinical pharmacists. Initial funding came from a grant from the Area Office on
Aging for pharmacists to provide education about medications to the seniors at eight local
senior centers.
The original residency was a Primary Care Specialty Residency. With the change in
nomenclature from ASHP, we became a PGY-2 Ambulatory Care residency. We earned
ASHP accreditation beginning in 2004.
Due to a limited number of PGY-1 graduates interested in a PGY-2 Ambulatory Care
residency, we elected to change our status to a PGY-1 residency in 2007. ASHP surveyed
our residency in 2008 and awarded Preliminary Accreditation status. We anticipate full
accreditation status when the ASHP accreditation committee meets in March, 2009.
