Our program incorporates a progressive view of pharmacy practice, utilizing informatics, automation and advanced clinical technician skills to support our pharmaceutical services. Residents will participate in the ongoing revision and improvement of a managed health care system. VASNHCS provides tremendous opportunities to include the development of pharmaceutical care plans with defined outcomes utilizing collaborative drug therapy management and systems that support a progressive view of pharmacy practice. After completing their residency, pharmacists will be able to independently manage patients in a variety of disease states and practice settings. They will initiate, modify, and evaluate drug therapy according to defined outcomes and under an expansive scope of practice. Practice management experiences include formulary system management, committee involvement, grand rounds presentations, journal clubs, leadership discussions and a residency project presented at a regional conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Required learning experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Orientation (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ambulatory Care (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anticoagulation (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geriatrics (CLC) (5 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infectious Disease (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inpatient Pharmacy Operations (2 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal Medicine (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outpatient Pharmacy Operations (2 week)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1-weekend per month staffing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Elective learning experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Academic Detailing (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advanced Ambulatory Care (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency Medicine (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home Based Primary Care (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hospice\/Palliative Care (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ICU (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental Health (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oncology (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain Management (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rural Disease State management (4 weeks, option for 1-3 rotations)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialty Pharmacy Clinic (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VISN 21 Population Health Management (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pharmacoeconomics (4 weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leadership (4 weeks)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information see our website here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/sierra-nevada-health-care\/work-with-us\/internships-and-fellowships\/pharmacy-residency-program-pgy1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.va.gov\/sierra-<wbr>nevada-health-care\/work-with-<wbr>us\/internships-and-<wbr>fellowships\/pharmacy-<wbr>residency-program-pgy1\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASHP Directory Page: <a href=\"https:\/\/linkprotect.cudasvc.com\/url?a=https%3a%2f%2faccreditation.ashp.org%2fdirectory%2fecfd1239-7a0f-430a-9524-d8d4289b51a7&amp;c=E,1,c7jd_QhjdYg-1JMJR95J1ZHS2HSY7Yh2rheQNwyKfUehs9BV3LaBMxiX4f8t4NURAqy0K8ZPxIf_NAUBfSx7slq4EhUmgROL4sxypFsA&amp;typo=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/accreditation.ashp.<wbr>org\/directory\/ecfd1239-7a0f-<wbr>430a-9524-d8d4289b51a7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opportunities to meet us:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>*<strong>VIRTUAL<\/strong>* Federal Pharmacy Residency Virtual Showcase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wednesday, November 4, 2026 12PM-1PM EST:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/277412294752553?p=Cd3M9hbIaJcdcwjnLA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/277412294752553?p=Cd3M9hbIaJcdcwjnLA<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thursday, November 5, 2026 12PM \u2013 1 PM EST:<\/strong> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/21370499163704?p=iR0lFzDcyfvLDsrQC5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/21370499163704?p=iR0lFzDcyfvLDsrQC5<\/a><br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>*<strong>IN-PERSON<\/strong>*\u00a0Midyear Residency Showcase on <strong>Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2026 from 8-11AM \u00a0<\/strong>(Booth 5618)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 1 application deadline: January 7, 2027<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NMS Match Code: 170013<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interview:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A virtual interview is required and takes place in February<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please email with questions!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Residency Program Director: Carrie Linn, PharmD, MPH \u00a0(<a href=\"mailto:Carrie.Linn@va.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carrie.Linn@va.gov<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Carrie Linn, PharmD, MPH<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clinical Pharmacy Practitioner- Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team (HPACT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US Department of Veterans Affairs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: <a href=\"mailto:Carrie.Linn@va.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carrie.Linn@va.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Category: Career Preparation We have longstanding history of clinical pharmacy at VA Sierra Nevada Care System (VASNHCS).
