The department of pharmacy is staffed with 181 employees, 69 full time pharmacists and over 62 support staff members. It is affiliated with several Colleges of Pharmacy within and outside the state of Florida. Our Residency Preceptors have a proven commitment to residency training. Their backgrounds represent a diverse mix of experiences and training:
- Pharmacy practice residency training
- Specialty residency training (e.g., critical care, nutrition support, emergency medicine, solid organ transplantation, pediatrics)
- Board certification (e.g., Pharmacotherapy Specialist, Nutrition Support Specialist)
- American College of Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) Fellowship Induction
In addition to a focus on direct patient care, preceptors are involved in scholarly activities such as scientific journal peer review (e.g., Critical Care Medicine, Pharmacotherapy), active textbook and journal publication, platform and poster presentations and research. These practitioners are actively involved with local, state, national and international professional organizations (e.g., Florida Society of Health-System Pharmacists, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, American College of Clinical Pharmacy, Society of Critical Care Medicine, American Society of Transplant Physicians). With over 15 dedicated pharmacy preceptors, the pharmacy department is a fertile ground for training future pharmacy practitioners specializing in the care of hospital practice, teaching, and scholarly activity.
