The Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program provides advanced ambulatory care training across Samaritan Health Services’ primary care clinics located in Corvallis, Albany and Lebanon, Oregon. Situated within a collaborative healthcare network, the program offers broad exposure to diverse patient populations and practice environments while maintaining the advantages of a connected community healthcare system.
This residency program is designed to cultivate clinical excellence in the management of complex patients and chronic disease states through longitudinal relationships with patients and interdisciplinary care teams.
Residents develop specialty competencies, refine direct patient care skills and contribute to innovative ambulatory care services that improve patient outcomes.
A major platform of the program is its balance of supportive mentorship and progressive autonomy, allowing residents to build confidence as independent practitioners while receiving individualized guidance from experienced ambulatory care pharmacists.
Jennifer Cox graduated from Oregon State University in 2011. Throughout her career she has held positions as a Pharmacist, Pharmacy Manager, Pharmacist in charge, Director of Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacist.
Prior to joining the Medication Management team in 2024, she was instrumental in creating a Residency Program and a clinical pharmacy program within a local private practice in Oregon. After joining the Medication Management team, she has helped to develop polices to offer more covered clinical services and is now expanding our Residency Program to include PGY2 Residency.
The goal of our program is to prepare our graduates to be well-positioned for advanced clinical practice, board certification, specialty-focused roles, management, academia, ambulatory care leadership opportunities and more.
Our preceptors share a diverse background and set of interests/talents. Preceptors provide continuous feedback and a welcoming but challenging environment for our residents thrive.
Samaritan is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in its programs as a reflection of the patient population we serve. We invite you to explore Samaritan’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategic priorities.
Our PGY2 pharmacy residency advances clinical expertise beyond Pharm.D. and PGY1 education by offering clinic-based training alongside select hospital and specialty pharmacy experiences. Aligned with our sponsoring institution’s mission of partnering for a healing and healthy future, the program uses progressive responsibility and integrated learning to prepare residents to:
The Willamette Valley is filled with a variety of activities and outdoor adventures, ranging from hiking and mountain biking to mellow floats down the river in the summer. In the winter, you can enjoy a day or weekend ski trip to one of several ski areas in the Oregon Cascades.
Corvallis also has a great variety of food options ranging from French pastries in the morning to late-night burritos, as well as several breweries, wineries and a local cider house. We even have a Farmer’s Market on Saturday with lots of local produce, farm-raised meats and bakeries selling fresh breads and treats that you can enjoy in one of the surrounding parks.
Corvallis is also home to the Oregon State Beavers and we have the opportunity to go to various Pac-12 sporting events. One of our favorites is when the Oregon Ducks come over to challenge us in the ‘Rivalry Game’ and the town shows up for an electrifying game!
