Through extensive training in this broad range of experiences, residents will develop expertise to identify, prevent, and resolve medication-related problems in patients with complex and treatment-refractory symptoms; participate as active members of multidisciplinary healthcare teams; demonstrate precepting and leadership skills; and provide interprofessional and pharmacy education related to psychopharmacology topics.
