“Dear Wilkes University Pharmacy Students, We would like to invite interested pharmacy students from Wilkes University to a virtual open house hosted by the six PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency Programs within Virginia Mason Franciscan Health<\/a> (VMFH). Located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, we truly practice at the top of our license with numerous collaborative practice protocols in both acute and ambulatory care settings. From actively assisting with procedural sedation and emergency medical scenarios to initiating and managing guideline-directed medication therapy for patients with heart failure, our pharmacists enjoy a progressive practice model within a highly supportive health system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The multiple residency programs within VMFH strive to develop a foundation of critical thinking and leadership skills that will promote continuous professional development and innovation in health care. Our programs strongly affirm a dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in an effort to improve healthcare for underserved and marginalized populations while enhancing our own learning and professional work environments. Our residents receive implicit bias and microaggression training during orientation and participate in ongoing facilitated discussions with the goal of encouraging self-reflection, raising consciousness, and providing ongoing support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We will be having two upcoming virtual open house events in November:<\/p>\n\n\n\n VMFH<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n November 5, 2026<\/strong> @ 7-8 p.m. ET <\/p>\n\n\n\n Video call link: https:\/\/meet.google.com\/oqo- Phone #: (857) 309-5505<\/a>\u202c PIN: \u202a182 509 884\u202c# <\/p>\n\n\n\n ACCP x SNPhA<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n November 12, 2026<\/strong> @ 6-7 p.m. ET<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video call link: https:\/\/meet.google.com\/zyw- Phone #: (407) 986-7146<\/a>\u202c PIN: \u202a662 754 549\u202c# <\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Anne Hospital<\/a> in Burien, WA; 1 position<\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Joseph Medical Center<\/a> in Tacoma, WA; 4 positions<\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Joseph Medical Center (with an ambulatory focus)<\/a> in Tacoma, WA; 2 positions<\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Joseph Medical Center (with an administrative focus)<\/a> in Tacoma, WA; 1 position<\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Michael Medical Center<\/a> in Silverdale, WA; 2 positions<\/p>\n\n\n\n Virginia Mason Medical Center<\/a> in Seattle, WA; 2 positions<\/p>\n\n\n\n We appreciate your time and consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Respectfully,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Olivia Grabocka<\/p>\n\n\n\n Olivia Grabocka, PharmD<\/strong>PGY1 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy ResidentVirginia Mason Franciscan Health – St. Joseph Medical Center<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1708 S.
