One-Of-A-Kind Experience

The Employers Health residency program is a unique program that allowed me to grow and learn from a highly talented team. As a resident, I was offered countless opportunities to support clients and vendors early on and see the positive impact our team has on employers and their members. This residency prepared me to effectively present and interact with our clients, industry representatives and help with the development of cost reduction strategies. I am grateful to be part of a team that supports my professional and personal growth – the residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Residency Program Purpose

As drug costs continue to gain national attention, the necessity for managed care pharmacists to lead the efforts in the efficient purchasing of medications has never been greater. The Employers Health Residency Program provides training grounds for recent pharmacy school graduates to transform into these much-needed managed care pharmacists.

The purpose of our program is to develop well-rounded clinical advisors. We do this by building upon the Doctor of Pharmacy education, establishing sound managed care principles and empowering residents to lead clinical initiatives and discussions.

At Employers Health, the clinical team is an essential element in the success of our growing collective. Our ability to provide independent analysis and recommendations in the constantly – evolving pharmaceutical landscape plays a major role in our high loyalty and satisfaction from our clients. This would be extremely difficult to maintain if we did not have quality residents each year working with our staff and employers.
