RESIDENT ACTIVITIES

Resident Major Project
Residents are responsible for designing, developing, and completing a year-long research project.  Residents should aim for their research projects to contribute to the profession of pharmacy, benefit University of Missouri Health Care's pharmacy department, and be suitable for publication.  A preceptor co-investigator will provide guidance and feedback to each resident.  Additionally, the major project will be presented as a PowerPoint presentation at the Midwest Pharmacy Residents Conference

Staffing Commitment
Residents will help staff the central pharmacy every third weekend and one four-hour shift each week. 
Residents will also work 3 holiday shifts during the course of the year.  These holidays include Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, day after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.  Residents will not be required to work on Independence Day or Labor Day.
