SCR Continues to

Advance Pharmacy Practice Through Residency Training

submitted by: Catherine Shely, PharmD, BCPS

SCR congratulates the newest graduates of the SCR Pharmacy Practice Residency program. Dr. Abigail Hay and Dr. Philip Hutchinson join a distinguished list of pharmacists who have completed this advanced training. Last year, only 16.5% of graduating pharmacy students elected to pursue additional training that prepares them for direct management of patient medication therapies. 1,2

SCR has been in the forefront of experiential training for pharmacists for many years, providing residency training since 1987. It was the second pharmacy residency program in Kentucky and the first outside of an urban university setting. There are now 12 accredited pharmacy residency programs in the state, with 3 programs in candidate status for accreditation, and 2 other organizations in the preliminary phases of establishing a training program.3 A total of 35 pharmacists list the SCR Pharmacy Residency on their résumés, many of which have gone on to practice in facilities all over the US.

Dr. Hay and Dr. Hutchinson have joined SCR as part of the clinical pharmacist staff, and look forward to continuing their professional career in an organization that places a high emphasis on utilizing pharmacists to the full potential of their training.

On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 St. Claire Regional had a graduation party for participants who completed the Cooper/Clayton Smoking Cessation 13 week program. All participants received free nicotine replacement products and education to help them make the journey from smoker to non-smoker. The nicotine supplements were provided through a KY-ASAP grant, Rowan Co. Health Department and St. Claire Foundation. At the end of the program, the participants each received a gift and certificate of achievement. Overall program evaluations were very positive and a monthly smoking cessation support group meeting will continue the first Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. beginning August 7th in the St. Claire Regional medical library.

St. Claire Regionail Employee Health still has free nicotine supplements available, provided you sign up and attend, the Cooper/Clayton Smoking Cessation Classes. If you are interested in the program or for more information, please contact, Irene Williams, LPN, Employee Health Coordinator at ext. 6649 or (606)207-9944.
