Our Pharmacy Residency Residency Program is centered at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center (GSRMC), a Level II Trauma Center licensed to operate 188 beds located in the thriving college town of Corvallis, OR. With more than 22 medical specialties located on one campus, GSRMC offers patients a comprehensive level of care. We care for a diverse population of patients including underserved or unhoused, rural and suburban populations.
Residents will have opportunities to experience a wealth of clinical pharmacy services including ambulatory care, inpatient pharmacy at our flagship hospital in Corvallis, as well as at a 25-bed critical access hospital in Lebanon, mental health, infectious disease, specialty pharmacy, retail and management. Ambulatory care services include various collaborative practice-based disease state management services conducted by pharmacists embedded in primary care clinics, including anticoagulation, diabetes, asthma/COPD, hyperlipidemia, anemia and hypertension. Pharmacy also works closely with the research department to expand access to clinical trials across our system.
